Beckwith was fired by the Trump administration after she clashed with Greg Bovino, chief of the Border Control sector in El Centro, Calif., over a court order on immigration arrests.
On July 15, Beckwith was fired just hours after telling Bovino that a court order prevented him from carrying out arrests in a region stretching from the Oregon border to Bakersfield, Calif., without reasonable suspicion of federal law violations, the Times reported, citing documents it had reviewed. The outlet noted that within days of Beckwith's firing, Bovino led a raid on a Home Depot parking lot during which at least eight were arrested for being in the U.S. illegally.
After Beckwith's firing, Newsom's press office wrote on X, "Trump has fired the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento because she insisted on following the law. WAKE UP, AMERICA. DEMOCRACY IS ON THE BRINK!"

Recently, multiple deadly truck crashes have been linked to illegal immigrants who obtained commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) from California.
That includes a recent crash allegedly caused by Jashanpreet Singh, who is accused of driving under the influence and killing three people in the accident. On Oct. 23, the White House confirmed that Singh received his CDL from California.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the DOT was cracking down on the issuing of CDLs amid a "disturbing pattern" of them being given to illegal immigrants.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, Newsom's office and the Department of Justice for comment.
