"Agent [Greg] Bovino came into the picture, and I would argue, in fairness, that he escalated the situation by the way that was handled. Your officers are not trained to effectuate crowd control. They are trained to move in surgically, go in and remove these dangerous, violent criminals from the United States of America. I've called for de-escalation after the two deaths, the two shootings that took place."
"And what has been done since Mr. Homan came into the job? We now have targeted law enforcement operations. He is returning to the original mission of ICE. He is working with state and locals to do the crowd control. He is getting them to honor the ICE detainers. He is also getting the body cameras put on them. And the roving patrols, in his words to me, should be down at the border, not in major cities."
Rep. Michael McCaul condemned Democratic rhetoric and the Biden administration's immigration approach, then addressed shifts after the Minneapolis deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. McCaul said Agent Greg Bovino escalated a situation and argued ICE officers are trained to surgically remove dangerous criminals, not perform crowd control. He called for de-escalation and asserted roving patrols belong at the border rather than in major cities. McCaul praised the replacement of Bovino with Tom Homan, credited Homan with returning ICE to targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement, coordinating with state and local authorities, enforcing detainers, and adding body cameras.
