DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied the claims that Bovino had been relieved of his duties as Border Patrol ‘commander at large,’ which was first reported by The Atlantic
Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and will return back to his old job in California, according to reports.
Bovino, who has been heavily involved in crackdowns on immigration across the country, will return to El Centro and is expected to retire soon, a DHS official and two other sources told The Atlantic.
It comes following the recent chaotic events in Minneapolis, in which two protesters have been shot dead by federal agents in less than three weeks. Renee Nicole Good was shot by an ICE agent on January 7 and ICU nurse Alex Pretti was killed Saturday.
Good, but ICE is still operating in Twin Cities and is also targeting to Maine now. The pressure on elected officials to abolish ICE and DHS must continue. DHS funding must be stripped.
Bovino was alway going to be a fall guy and this isn’t nearly enough punishment for him. Jonathan Ross is still at large and the officers that executed Alex Pretti are still out there.
At large suggests they are wanted, minnesota has not charged them still.
They are wanted by a very pissed off public and two families those murderers wrecked.
