Greg Bovino

Greg Bovino is a senior Border Patrol commander who recently led federal immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis. He gained prominence as the public face of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the city, drawing intense scrutiny and protests. Bovino is newsworthy because he was recently removed from his frontline role in Minneapolis amidst investigations into alleged misconduct by federal officers during immigration enforcement actions. Specifically, the Hennepin County Attorney in Minnesota is investigating cases, including one where Bovino allegedly threw a smoke canister at protesters. Protests, including all-night noise demonstrations, have targeted Bovino and his agents. His reassignment comes after a period of heightened tension and controversy surrounding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, including the fatal shooting of a US citizen by a federal agent under his command.
