Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino Set to Depart Minneapolis Amid Growing Backlash Over Shootings
In a significant shift regarding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is expected to leave his position following public outcry over the recent shooting of Alex Pretti. This decision comes as the Trump administration faces increasing pressure to change its approach to immigration operations in the state. President Trump has initiated discussions with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, signaling a potential shift toward collaboration amid rising tensions and demands for accountability. The White House has also indicated a de-escalation of ICE operations, as some federal agents prepare to leave Minneapolis in response to the backlash surrounding the incidents. Trump has deployed border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota in an effort to quell the unrest following the shooting and to address public concerns over federal enforcement actions.
