Gregory Bovino, a recently demoted border patrol official, reportedly mocked US Minnesota attorney Daniel Rosen's Jewish faith during a January 12th phone call with prosecutors. Bovino allegedly made sarcastic remarks about Rosen observing Shabbat and used the term "chosen people" derisively. The call followed Bovino's request for a meeting with Rosen to push for a stronger response to those impeding federal agents enforcing immigration policies. Bovino's demotion also follows his controversial handling of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, who was filming immigration officials in Minneapolis, and Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by an ICE agent. Bovino had initially claimed Pretti intended to "massacre" federal agents, a claim contradicted by video evidence.
