The Trump administration plans to move Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino out of Minnesota, signaling a potential shift in federal immigration enforcement strategy.

Gregory Bovino Leaves Minnesota
The Trump administration is preparing to reassign Gregory Bovino, a senior Border Patrol official whose enforcement tactics in major U.S. cities have sparked controversy, according to two government officials familiar with the matter. The officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the decision publicly.

Bovinoโs expected departure from Minneapolis signals a possible shift in how the administration is approaching immigration enforcement in Minnesota. Several Border Patrol agents who worked closely with him are also anticipated to leave the state.
The move comes the same day President Donald Trump announced that his border czar, Tom Homan, would be sent to Minnesota to oversee Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. While the administration has not publicly linked the two developments, the timing suggests a broader recalibration of federal enforcement efforts in the region.
Bovino has been a visible and polarizing figure during recent immigration operations in urban areas, drawing criticism from local leaders and immigrant advocacy groups. His reassignment appears to be part of an effort to reduce tensions while maintaining federal oversight of immigration enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security has not released an official statement regarding Bovinoโs reassignment or the future structure of Border Patrol operations in Minnesota.
