US EditionBorder Patrol official Gregory Bovino to retire from federal service: Report
Gregory Bovino plans retirement amid fallout from Minneapolis raids that killed two U.S. citizens; he led high-profile immigration operations in multiple cities under the Trump administration.
- On Monday, Gregory Bovino, Border Patrol commander-at-large, announced his retirement at the end of this month after nearly 30 years, though he has not filed required paperwork, CBS News and Breitbart reported.
- Sidelined in late January following the Minneapolis incidents where federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Bovino's response, including claims Pretti intended to 'massacre' agents, intensified criticism.
- His city deployments yielded large arrest totals, including in Los Angeles operations netting more than 5,000 arrests and Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz producing over 3,000 arrests.
- Two weeks after Kristi Noem's ouster, DHS saw leadership changes and Bovino's replacement has not yet been announced, leaving an immediate gap as Tom Homan leads in Minnesota.
- Hennepin County, Minnesota is probing more than a dozen potential unlawful actions by federal agents, including one involving Bovino, while the administration has shifted to a more targeted enforcement approach.
