Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino leaving Minnesota after 2nd fatal shooting

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino is set to leave Minnesota Tuesday as the Trump administration shakes up its immigration enforcement tactics in the state after another fatal shooting of an American citizen by a federal agent and mounting resistance from the public.

President Donald Trump said he was stationing his border czar, Tom Homan, in charge, after Bovino drew heavy criticism for claiming that Alex Pretti, the man who was shot dead three weeks after Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent, had been planning to “massacre” law enforcement.
