Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, most widely recognized for leading the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, will retire at the end of the month, CBS News reported, citing two sources directly familiar with his decision.
Bovino, 55, has played a highly visible role in enforcing President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda and defending the heavy-handed tactics used to subdue protesters.
NBC News also reported Bovino’s departure, citing two Customs and Border Protection officials.
When MS NOW asked a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson about the reports, the spokesperson said, “Chief Bovino has not submitted any retirement paperwork.”
That closely resembles a post Bovino wrote on his X account Monday afternoon, in which he responded to a reporter from the Washington Examiner, a conservative publication, who said she confirmed Bovino planned to retire.
“This is false. As of this writing, no ‘paperwork’ has been submitted,” replied Bovino, a prolific X user. “Check your facts and sources before reporting inaccurate information.”
He directed the reporter to a flattering Breitbart article that reports Bovino is, indeed, leaving the agency.
Over the past year, Bovino oversaw federal operations in Los Angeles, Chicago and, most recently, Minneapolis.
