Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis on Tuesday as the Trump administration reshuffles leadership of its immigration enforcement operation and scales back the federal presence after a second fatal shooting in the city by federal officers.
A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that Bovino is among the federal agents leaving Minneapolis. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
President Donald Trump said he was placing his border czar, Tom Homan, in charge of the mission. Homan will report directly to the White House.
Bovino’s departure marks a significant public shift in federal law enforcement posture amid mounting outrage over the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.
