Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, the face of the Trump administration's campaign to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants, will be leaving Minnesota, along with some border agents, amid violent, and sometimes deadly, clashes between federal authorities and anti-ICE agitators.
Bovino and an unspecified number of U.S. Border Patrol agents will be leaving the state as soon as Tuesday, multiple federal sources told Fox News.
"Chief Gregory Bovino has NOT been relieved of his duties," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin later wrote on X. "As @PressSec stated from the White House podium, @CMDROpAtLargeCA is a key part of the President's team and a great American."
