The Bottom Line

Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino who led Minneapolis immigration operation is retiring in March.

AI Summary

Gregory Bovino, a US Border Patrol official who led the immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, announced his retirement effective at the end of March. Bovino was demoted in late January from his role as the public face of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, which has been described as controversial and deadly. His departure comes just weeks after losing his leadership position in the high-profile enforcement operation. The Minneapolis operation has drawn significant attention as part of the broader federal immigration enforcement efforts under the current administration. Bovino's exit removes a key figure who had been prominently associated with the city's immigration raids and enforcement activities.
