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.
However, in an online statement DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied the claims.
“Chief Gregory Bovino has NOT been relieved of his duties,” she wrote on X in response to the reports, adding that Bovino “is a key part of the President’s team and a great American.”
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.
Bovino was reportedly set to leave Minneapolis as soon as Tuesday due to one of his agents being involved with the Pretti’s death, however news of his role change had not been specified. Meanwhile CNN reports that the Bovino has also had his access to his social media accounts cut off, effective immediately.
