Hennepin County is investigating 17 criminal cases involving federal agents, including former Customs and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, for actions taken during “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota. Bovino is seen in footage deploying a gas canister that may have released carcinogenic agents. The county attorney has launched a Transparency and Accountability Project to examine these cases and gather community input, acknowledging the federal government’s lack of cooperation in providing evidence for accountability. This local effort represents a growing resistance to documented abuses by federal agents, contrasting with their historical lack of consequences.

Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino was reportedly asked to leave a Las Vegas bar due to safety concerns for its customers.

So, the situation with Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, is really something. It seems he made some pretty shocking comments during a phone call with lawyers, remarks that have really ignited a firestorm of controversy. The core of the issue centers around accusations that he mocked the religious faith of Daniel N. Rosen, the U.S. attorney in Minnesota. Rosen, as we know, is an Orthodox Jew and observes Shabbat.
Apparently, Bovino’s comments were not only insensitive, but deeply disrespectful. He’s accused of using phrases like “chosen people” in a mocking tone, which, let’s be honest, carries a significant historical weight, particularly when leveled at someone of Jewish faith.… Continue reading

Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by agents under his command, and will return to his former position. This demotion suggests a shift in the administration’s aggressive tactics, particularly regarding mass-deportation campaigns. Bovino, who had become a prominent figure in the administration’s crackdown on cities governed by Democrats, had previously faced criticism for his public engagement and actions outside of the chain of command.

In a Sunday interview, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino controversially claimed his agents, not the deceased protestor Alex Pretti, were the victims of the fatal shooting. Pretti, who was legally carrying a firearm, was shot by agents after an altercation during which he was sprayed with a chemical irritant and wrestled to the ground. Bovino asserted that Pretti forfeited his Second Amendment rights through his actions, which contradicted video evidence. These assertions were echoed by other Trump cabinet members on Sunday news programs, with officials inaccurately claiming that firearms are not permitted at protests.
