- On Tuesday, retiring Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino defended his aggressive "turn and burn" immigration enforcement tactics, expressing no regrets as he prepares to leave the agency after nearly 30 years.
- Bovino led military-style deportation campaigns across Los Angeles and Minneapolis, where federal agents faced accusations of excessive force, including fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.
- Former colleagues labeled the chief a "chronic institutional headache," while Bovino claimed to be Native American and Cherokee since age 8, despite lacking official tribal registry.
- President Donald Trump distanced himself from Bovino, calling for a softer approach, while incoming DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin signaled a policy shift following Secretary Kristi Noem's firing.
- Bovino remains under investigation for the Minnesota operation, while recently telling the New York Times he plans to hunt "nonnative invasive species"—the four-legged coyote kind—in retirement.
