Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, along with several agents, is expected to leave Minneapolis Tuesday, according to reports. These reports follow President Donald Trump's announcement that "border czar" Tom Homan is now leading Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minnesota.
Minnesota, especially Minneapolis, has seen growing protests after the Trump administration sent the largest deployment of ICE agents into the state following allegations of mass fraud committed by Somali migrants. Protests grew even larger after agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens.
CNN reports that Bovino and the agents will return to their respective sectors. Sources the publication spoke to said it was a "mutual decision" for Bovino and the administration.
