So any states or cities that dare to vote against him are the only ones who "can't run elections." How convenient. If a state or city votes for him then by definition they are "competent" at running elections. He's so transparent in what he wants to do, and yet our government and news media and other supposed safeguards of democracy and the constitution just sit around pretending like it's not happening, or bosiding everything. We're witnessing the total implosion of our constitutional system of government in real time.

Defense Dept. effort to punish Mark Kelly draws skepticism from judge​

A federal judge in D.C. said the restrictions being used against Kelly, a retired Navy captain, have only applied to active-duty service members.


“… U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to be expanding restrictions on free speech that have applied only to active-duty service members, not military retirees.

“That’s never been done before,” Leon, who was nominated by President George W. Bush, told a government lawyer during a hearing in D.C. federal court on Kelly’s request for an injunction to halt the disciplinary proceedings. “You’re asking me to do something the Supreme Court’s never done.”…”

“… Mr. Trump said on Tuesday that he believed the federal government should “get involved” in elections that are riddled with “corruption,” reiterating his position that the federal government should usurp state laws by exerting control over local elections.

If states “can’t count the votes legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over,” he said in the Oval Office, accusing several Democratic-run cities of corruption.

“Look at some of the places — that horrible corruption on elections — and the federal government should not allow that,” he added. “The federal government should get involved.”

Mr. Trump’s remarks came hours after the White House tried to walk back his comments from a day earlier that his party should nationalize elections. And they were the latest iteration of his unsubstantiated claims that U.S. elections are rigged, as Republicans face potentially big losses this fall.…”

“… Le volunteered to help the U.S. Attorney’s Office last month as habeas petitions started to flood into federal court.

She previously worked as an attorney for ICE in immigration court.

ICE has its own court policies and procedures and was not prepared to argue cases in federal court, according to Le.

"We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do," Le said.“

——
I can’t tell from this whether she was an attorney directly employed by the Federal Government or an outside (private practice) attorney who represented ICE … if she is the MN admitted Julie Le I found, then she is/was a ‘22 law school grad & was an associate at a small law firm there that focuses on workers comp. Maybe not her though(?)
