TRUMP OUSTS SACRAMENTO U.S. ATTORNEY AFTER WARNING BORDER PATROL TO FOLLOW COURT ON IMMIGRATION RAIDS

Acting U.S. attorney Michele Beckwith was terminated hours after reminding Border Patrol to comply with court orders and the Constitution ahead of a planned raid in Sacramento. The firing came as Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino proceeded with a high-profile Home Depot operation days later. The episode fits a broader pattern of DOJ personnel changes aligned with aggressive immigration enforcement in California following recent Supreme Court rulings. Beckwith has appealed her termination, raising questions about prosecutorial independence and federal-local conflict over immigration raids.
