"Following the second shooting death of a Minneapolis citizen by federal immigration officers, Bovino was taken out of Minnesota and reassigned to his old Customs and Border Protection position as chief patrol agent in El Centro, California. The Atlantic's Nick Miroff reported earlier this week that Bovino is essentially losing his job as he is expected to retire soon. That remains to be seen, but this much is true: He has effectively been erased from a leadership role in Trump's immigration crackdown."
"The decision to bar Mr. Bovino from his account was made not by the White House but by his higher-ups at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to an official at the Department of Homeland Security. A different U.S. official insisted that Mr. Bovino would eventually regain access to his social media account, once he's back at his previous post in California, overseeing part of the border there."
Gregory Bovino was removed from his Minnesota role after a second Minneapolis shooting involving federal immigration officers and reassigned to his former post as chief patrol agent in El Centro, California. Reports indicate he is expected to retire and has effectively been erased from a senior leadership position in the administration's immigration enforcement. Tom Homan replaced him in Minnesota. U.S. Customs and Border Protection barred Bovino from using his official social media accounts for the time being. Department of Homeland Security officials said the decision came from CBP higher-ups and that he may regain access once back in California. The administration framed moves as damage control after the shootings and operations in Minnesota.
