The Guardian reported on September 27, 2025, that former President Trump fired Michele Beckwith, the acting US attorney in Sacramento. According to The New York Times, the dismissal on July 15 happened less than six hours after she warned a Border Patrol chief that his agents must comply with court orders and the Constitution during immigration raids. Beckwith had emailed Gregory Bovino, the chief of the Border Patrol's El Centro Sector, to remind him of a federal court injunction that prevents agents from detaining people without reasonable suspicion in her district.
indiatimes.com reported, The specific court order stemmed from an April ruling by a federal judge. Two days after Beckwith's termination, Bovino proceeded with an immigration raid at a Sacramento Home Depot. In a statement, Bovino claimed Beckwith's email "revealed a bias against law enforcement." The source material did not include a reason for the dismissal from the Trump administration. Beckwith, who served as a federal prosecutor for 15 years, has appealed her termination.
