CNN reported Monday that controversial Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis, where he has been overseeing operations and vehemently defending officers following the shooting death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti.
Anderson Cooper broke the news Monday afternoon, saying, “Sources tell CNN that top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow,” before tossing to reporter Priscilla Alvarez.
“This really is a major shift in strategy here by the Trump administration,” Alvarez began. “Recall, Gregory Bovino has been a key player in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and became, in many ways, the public face of that crackdown across cities in the country. Most recently, of course, in Minneapolis.”
“We are now being told by sources that he is going to be departing Minneapolis with some of his Border Patrol agents tomorrow and going back to their respective sectors,” Alvarez said. “Now, we’re also told that part of this has been influenced by the frustrations within the administration over the handling and the public response of Saturday’s shooting.”
Earlier Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted at Bovino’s reassignment, saying, “Mr. Bovino is a wonderful man and he’s a great professional. He is very much going to lead Customs and Border Patrol throughout and across the country. Mr. [Tom] Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis.”
In addition to giving press conferences where he described his border patrol agents as the true “victims” in the incident with Pretti, Bovino spent the weekend sparring with lawmakers and journalists on social media.
After CNN’s Jake Tapper insinuated he was a liar, Bovino asked for proof, writing, “Then identify the lie, Jake. No one can seem to find this mysterious ‘lie’.”
Tapper was happy to oblige, posting reams of court documents where a judge wrote, ““Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times.”
“Let me know if I can help with anything else,” Tapper wrote.
Antifa and their subhuman illegal aliens won. Americans lost.

So the Somalis keep the learing centers?
Anyone who studies His Word knows that using it to predict the future is foolish.
He’s a du troll.
The Minneapolis insurrectionists have Won. Trump has surrendered to the Mob. This show of weakness not only will encourage more disunity not only in Minn and elsewhere, but also will likely significantly damage the morale of the ICE agents.
I am very disappointed in Pres Trump.
Help is on the way!

Right!
If so, the Left will franchise what they did in Minneapolis and expand it nationwide.
*********************
This was a nationwide radical operation, not just a MN operation.
Go kill yourself then
Has CNN ever identified any “controversial” liberals?
I hate to say it but you are right.
Maybe you are correct...
Last year, Chief Bovino was in Los Angeles area...There were many Border Patrol operations...Then, one day, he left...Along with other agents...
But we dont know what his next play is. Maybe he is bringing in the big dogs. Homan is certainly one. We should let this play out a bit before making a judgement on the current situation.
Watching he signs, that is not predicting...
What a stupid remark!
Compromising with evil is evil.
I fundamentally disagree Trump using active military personnel would not have led to any backlash at all.
President’s George Washington Lincoln Eisenhower and JFK have all used active military force in quelling down miscrupulous acts of rebellion this is not only internal strife of insurrection but there are actually external factors too.
dpetty121263 is just an a leftist jackass who is disabled by TDS. It is as simple as that.
You see him/her/it on all these threads. Sad existence. Must be spending all day with spittle on the lips looking for any anti-Trump thing that can be found.
GFY leftist troll!
You just predicted "Israel will nuke them along with Russia" and you concluded that from your Biblical reading.
Nostradamus much?
“hates hard problems to solve...just factual”
You are nuts and that is an utterly ridiculous statement.
Fixing the wide-open border was an easy thing to solve? Finding the money to build the wall in T45 was easy? Dealing with Europeans is easy. Handling Maduro and China in South American is easy? Taking out the Iranian nuclear program is easy? Negotiating for Greenland is easy? Getting rid of all the illegals that Biden and Mayorkas let in is easy? Cutting crime in our cities is easy? And a million other very difficult things he has accomplished.
