Gregory Bovino to Retire From Border Patrol
Greg Bovino, the combative border official empowered by the Trump administration to run major immigration operations across the United States, plans to retire in the coming weeks, he told The New York Times on Monday.Mr. Bovino had a decades-long career with the U.S. Border Patrol, running operations along portions of the southern border since he joined the agency in the 1990s.
He became a household name, however, as he oversaw sprawling operations within the country starting last summer in Los Angeles, then Chicago and New Orleans, and finally in Minnesota in January.
His brash style, including his regular social media commentary, earned him criticism from the left and praise from the right. The operations his team conducted spurred lawsuits and allegations of racial profiling. At one point, his team led an operation at a Chicago apartment complex in which agents rappelled from a helicopter. The scene was filmed and sent out on social media shortly after the arrests were made.
Now that the regime's atrocities in MN are no longer dominating the headlines after Don chose to pick a fight with Iran, Greg is quietly slipping out the backdoor. It's another example of how the regime avoids admitting to a mistake. Like the way it is dragging out the official result of the investigation in to the bombing of the girl's school in Iran.
At the least, previous admin's would have issued a statement of regret by now. Doing the honorable, accepting responsibility for the tragedy. Not these guys. They stare at their shoes and move on.
It goes without saying Bovino is a disgrace to the Border Patrol, an embarrassment to himself and the country, but apparently not to the regime. Or he would have been fired. But firing someone when the lights are shinning bright is messy. It implies poor judgement by the people who let him run amuck for far too long. And as we all know, trump is infallible.
