It has been claimed that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who is at the center of discussions surrounding the escalation of events in Minnesota, has been removed from his position. Bovino, who is expected to retire shortly, has faced criticism for being pro-Nazi due to his long coat, hairstyle, and the harsh immigration tactics he employed.
According to a report by the American magazine The Atlantic, CBP Commander Bovino is being removed from his position.
TRUMP HAS TAKEN ACTION
According to the news, the Donald Trump administration has taken action following raids on immigrants in Minnesota and the killing of two Americans by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during this process.
HE WILL RETURN TO HIS OLD POSITION
It was stated that Bovino was removed from his position due to the increasing public backlash and that the commander would soon leave Minnesota to return to his former position in California. According to the same news, Bovino is expected to retire shortly.
"HE IS A NAZI SYMPATHIZER" CRITICISMS
Bovino faced criticisms of being a Nazi sympathizer due to his long coat, hairstyle, and the harsh immigration tactics he employed. His removal from office is seen as the Trump administration's most concrete step on this issue following the killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by border patrol agents under Bovino's command on Saturday.
"IT WAS A VERY GOOD MEETING"
U.S. President Donald Trump, who met with Democratic Governor Tim Walz regarding operations targeting immigrants in the state of Minnesota, stated, "It was a very good meeting, and in fact, we saw that we share similar views."
INCIDENTS IN MINNESOTA
On January 7, in Minneapolis, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed 37-year-old American citizen Renee Nicole Macklin Good in her vehicle during operations targeting immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed that this person was "trying to run over ICE officers and hit them with her vehicle."
During protests in Minneapolis, on January 24, another person was shot while being attempted to be detained by ICE teams. Authorities stated that the 37-year-old victim was an American nurse named Alex Jeffrey Pretti and that he was armed at the time of the incident.
