"About 100 people among those who protest daily against the deployment of 3,000 immigration enforcement agents by Donald Trump in Minneapolis gathered Monday in the desolate parking lot of a hotel on I-94, on the outskirts of the city, to spoil the departure of Gregory Bovino, commander at large of the U.S. Border Patrol and, until now, the officer in charge of operations on the ground in the Midwestern city."
"Bovino leaves the scene just two days after one of his men shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American nurse, in the back as he lay on the ground. The protesters gathered at 8:00 p.m. at the hotel where Bovino was said to be spending his last night in Minneapolis. Under a light snowfall, they made their presence felt with pots and pans, paint cans, megaphones, loudspeakers blasting hard rock, and even a small drum kit."
About 100 protesters who oppose the deployment of 3,000 immigration enforcement agents gathered at a hotel on I-94 in suburban Minneapolis to confront Gregory Bovino. The U.S. president announced that Tom Homan will replace Bovino as head of the operation. Bovino departed two days after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Protesters arrived at 8:00 p.m., using pots, paint cans, megaphones, loud music and a small drum kit to make their presence felt. A cordon of about 30 police officers guarded the hotel and repeatedly charged the crowd amid chants and insults directed at apparent federal agents.
