The rise and fall of Gregory Bovino, US border patrol’s menacing provoker-in-chief
AI Summary
Gregory Bovino, a senior US border patrol official, gained prominence for his role in immigration crackdowns in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago. However, his controversial statements following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by border patrol officers in Minneapolis led to his downfall. Bovino defended the shooting, claiming Pretti intended to harm law enforcement, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. His remarks sparked public outrage and put pressure on the Trump administration. As a result, Bovino was removed from his frontline role in Minneapolis, and his social media access was suspended. Tom Homan, Trump's "border tsar," was sent to oversee the operation, signaling a shift in the administration's approach.
