US EditionTop US Border Patrol official Bovino, some agents to leave Minneapolis: Report
Gregory Bovino and some agents will leave amid criticism following the death of Alex Pretti; new border czar Tom Homan to lead enforcement, officials said.
- Earlier this month, Customs and Border Patrol commander at large Gregory Bovino was removed from that post and will return to his old job in El Centro Border Patrol sector, California.
- Amid chaotic events in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where two protesters were shot dead in less than three weeks, Renee Nicole Good was shot on January 7 and ICU nurse Alex Pretti was killed Sunday.
- Bovino, long associated with aggressive enforcement, has played a leading role in nationwide crackdowns and drew criticism after calling Alex Pretti a `domestic terrorist`, which Pretti's parents said were `lies`.
- A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Atlantic he is expected to retire soon, and reporting relied on a DHS official and two other sources while The Independent sought confirmation.
- The Atlantic framed the move as signaling an operational rethink, calling it the `clearest sign yet` the administration is reconsidering deportation operations, while President Donald Trump's administration named border czar Tom Homan as the `main point of contact` in Minneapolis.
