Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino Relieved of Duties Amid Minnesota Standby Decision

Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino has been relieved of his duties and will be returning to El Centro following the decision to put Border Patrol agents on standby in Minnesota. Despite initial reports suggesting that agents under Bovino would be leaving after Monday, the situation has changed. Border czar Tom Homan is set to visit Minneapolis and meet with Mayor Jacob Frey to discuss the ongoing fraud investigations in the state. President Trump expressed his approval of Homan's visit, stating that both he and Governor Tim Walz are in agreement about the move. The decision to remove Bovino from his position comes in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday.
