Bonus: ICE Attorney Breaks Down in Open Court

In this week’s Amicus plus bonus episode, co-hosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss how Julie Le’s court appearance points towards the ongoing collapse of the Justice Department, and why the Trump administration might actually be delighted to see it fail.
