DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied the claims that Bovino had been relieved of his duties as Border Patrol ‘commander at large,’ which was first reported by The Atlantic

Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and will return back to his old job in California, according to reports.

Bovino, who has been heavily involved in crackdowns on immigration across the country, will return to El Centro and is expected to retire soon, a DHS official and two other sources told The Atlantic.

It comes following the recent chaotic events in Minneapolis, in which two protesters have been shot dead by federal agents in less than three weeks. Renee Nicole Good was shot by an ICE agent on January 7 and ICU nurse Alex Pretti was killed Saturday.

      To paraphrase my betters, I would never wish a man dead but I long to read this fuckers obituary. Ah, who am I kidding. I’m wishing as hard as I can for more than a few of these guys shuck their mortal coils.

      You hang them like common criminals, you don’t shoot them like soldiers:

      Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.

      He won’t. The border patrol has killed hundreds of people over the years and it’s not going to suddenly start mattering anytime soon.

      Only reason we know this dude is because he’s especially stupid about it, just like his boss.
