Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino removed from Las Vegas bar, report says

Bovino was removed from the Las Vegas bar due to safety concerns amid tensions after federal officers fatally shot protesters in Minneapolis, according to venue policy.

  • Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino, spotted drinking at a Las Vegas venue, was asked to leave the Bottled Blonde on Jan. 30 over safety concerns after being filmed chugging wine.
  • After overseeing Minneapolis operations where federal officers fatally shot protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti last month, Bovino was replaced by Border Czar Tom Homan on Jan. 27.
  • The multi-level Bottled Blonde sports bar on the Las Vegas Strip described itself as a private business that "does not engage in political activity or affiliations" and "reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion."
  • Photographs later showed Bovino strolling the Strip with the same group, and a representative told the Daily Beast the 55-year-old officer is no longer welcome at the venue.
  • An NPR/Marist poll found 65% of respondents believed federal agents have gone too far, while President Trump told NBC News a "softer touch" was needed in Minnesota amid recent clashes.
