Trump fires US attorney who told border agents to follow law on immigration raids

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Trump fired a top federal prosecutor in Sacramento just hours after she warned immigration agents they could not indiscriminately detain people in her district, according to documents reviewed by the New York Times. Michele Beckwith, who became the acting US attorney in Sacramento in January, received an email at 4.31pm on 15 July notifying her that the president had ordered her termination.

The day before, Beckwith had received a phone call from Gregory Bovino, who leads the Border Patrol’s unit in El Centro, a border city 600 miles south of Sacramento. Bovino was planning an immigration raid in Sacramento and asked Beckwith who in her office to contact if his officers were assaulted, the Times reported, citing Beckwith.

She informed Bovino that agents were not allowed to indiscriminately stop people in her district, north of Bakersfield, per a federal court order issued in April that prevents the agency from detaining people without reasonable suspicion. The US supreme court overturned a similar court order issued in Los Angeles earlier this month.

In a 10.57am email on 15 July, Beckwith repeated her message, telling Bovino she expected “compliance with court orders and the constitution”. Less than six hours later, her work computer and cellphone no longer functioning, she received a letter to her personal email account notifying her that she had been terminated. Two days later, Bovino proceeded with his immigration raid at a Sacramento Home Depot.’

Follow the law and Constitution and you’ll get fired by Trump; Trump is an enemy of the rule of law.

Trump is authoritarianism out of control.

Trump is authoritarianism out of control.

Why was an acting U.S. Attorney issuing directives to Border Patrol leader? All he asked her was what to do if his officers were assaulted, an all to common event, thanks to Democrats and "not Democrats" who hate Democracy, and the rule of law. She should have given him that guidance, and been glad he checked so that she could prosecute any such assailents.

He didn't ask her for an interpretation of a court ruling that is nearly certain to be overturned. Nor did he say that he planned detain people without reasonable suspicion. Border Patrol gets all needed legal guidance from the attorneys at the Department of Homeland Security, not from rogue justice department shysters.

What was she planning to do if her "orders" were not carried out?

Um according to your own link and post the scotus overturned the order she was trying to still enforce

Maybe she should of followed the constitution and rule of law

Seems you're ignoring this little tidbit from your own article. Hmmmm.

Happened on July 15.

Of course, he wants to ignore the rule of law and constitution

They were being instructed to obey the law.

 

[Seymour Flops]

They were being instructed to obey the law.

Which would be answered with "duh, we're law enforcement officers."

Since she had no authority over the Border Patrol, she would have done better to instruct would-be assailants of border patrol officers to obey the law, and to lay out the consequences of breaking it.

How many days until US Presidential Inauguration?

Count down every day to US Presidential Inauguration, with your own customizable countdown clock.

Lets see 1012 days to go, so that means the OP will have to come-up with 3036 threads between now and then given his average of three screwball posts a day.

Except that obviously they had no intention of doing so.

Good firing....Fire more that want to try to throw-up roadblocks to getting shed of illegals. The gloves are off.

The link doesn't support that assumption. Plus reasonable suspicion is pretty much automatic when latinos congregate at cheepo depot looking for day labor work.

Good. She was useless.

No they weren’t, they were told to ignore a SCOTUS ruling.

Crappy did you not read the link in the OP?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Except that obviously they had no intention of doing so.

As another poster said, the law was established by the USSC. She tried to put herself above the law.

It is very lucky that call happened and this was the worst this lady was able to do.

Kudos to the Border Patrol leader who saw what a problem this was and reported it quickly up the chain for swift action.

Of course she has authority in her district.
