Gregory Bovino

Gregory Bovino is a senior US Border Patrol official, age 55, who recently served as the commander overseeing immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. He previously rose to prominence for his role in immigration crackdowns in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago. Bovino's aggressive approach and hardline stance have drawn criticism, with some describing his style as provocative. He is now newsworthy because he is expected to leave Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, the second US citizen killed by federal immigration agents in the city within a month. The Trump administration is reportedly reshuffling its immigration enforcement leadership in response to the backlash from these incidents, with Tom Homan replacing Bovino. Bovino's departure signals a potential shift in the administration's tone and approach to immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.
