Overview
- Le confirmed she is running as a Democrat in Minnesota’s 5th District, seeking to unseat incumbent Ilhan Omar.
- Her campaign kickoff is scheduled for March 14 at Northwoods Park in Brooklyn Park, according to her campaign and recent reports.
- Le’s platform centers on comprehensive immigration reform with legal pathways and enforcement, expanded college aid, stronger K‑12 arts funding, and broader health care access.
- The former Homeland Security and ICE attorney was detailed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, assigned at least 80-plus cases during a February surge, told a judge “the system sucks,” and was removed from the assignment hours later.
- Her bid follows the fallout from Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, which drove thousands of arrests, a spike in habeas filings, departures of several prosecutors, and ongoing probes into two fatal shootings by federal agents.
