"The President demoted Greg Bovino, the commanding agent in charge of the roving patrols that have besieged Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and Minneapolis. The night before, according to the Times, Noem had to defend herself in a two-hour meeting at the White House. Miller wasn't there-"he knows just how and when to disappear," a former colleague once said. But he has since acknowledged that the two agents involved in the Pretti shooting "may not have been following" protocol."
"D.H.S. agents in masks and unmarked vehicles have been abducting immigrants with legal status and detaining and harassing citizens who look or sound as though they might not be U.S.-born. A recent ICE memo, obtained by the Associated Press, stated that agents can now enter people's homes to make arrests without a warrant from a judge. The agency has always relied on administrative warrants, signed by its own officials, to carry out deportation orders."
The Administration demoted Greg Bovino, the commander of roving federal patrols, after public backlash over aggressive enforcement actions. A senior official defended herself in a White House meeting while another operative was absent but later conceded that agents involved in a shooting may not have followed protocol. Thousands of federal agents remain deployed in Minnesota while a parallel USCIS operation has flagged 5,600 refugees for alleged fraud, leading to arrests and re-interviews despite prior legal status determinations. D.H.S. agents in masks and unmarked vehicles have detained legally recognized immigrants and harassed citizens perceived as foreign. An ICE memo authorizes entry into homes to arrest people without a judge-issued warrant, expanding reliance beyond administrative warrants previously signed by agency officials.
