Border Control Chief Gregory #Bovino 86ed (declared persona non grate) from a Las Vegas bar, when he was recognized by staff. The bar felt his presence was a danger to other customers. He was escorted out by the bar's security personnel and told never to return https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/02/06/gregory-bovino-kicked-out-las-vegas-bar/

@emptywheel has talked about how Stephen Miller has been giving Greg Bovino his orders & "rules of engagement" for #ICE actions.
Today I asked @JasonLeopold
"What #FOIA request can we file to get documents showing what #Bovino was told?"
#Miller thinks he can cover this up like his baldness.

Re: Bovino being changed out for Homan—
I was thinking of a baseball analogy.
Changing the pitcher doesn't change the game. It changes the pitcher.
The game is still the same.

Bovino out.
"Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change."

Atlantic is reporting that Bovino is being demoted from "commander at large" to whatever the fuck he was doing before and is expected to retire soon. (Mandatory retirement @ 57 at BP)
I hope that Nazi shitbird never knows a moment of peace or joy for the rest of his life and is permanently unemployable. (Paywalled, but the critical bit is at the start)

#Bovino became a #MAGA social-media star as he traveled the country with his own film crew & used social media to hit back at Democratic politicians & random critics online. Veteran #ICE & #CBP ofcls grew more & more uneasy as Bovino worked outside his agency’s chain of command & appeared to relish his role as a political actor.
In #Minneapolis, the #Trump admin used Bovino as its lead spox, scheduling daily pressera where he defended agents’ rough tactics & blamed protesters & local ofcls.
…Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem and her close adviser #CoreyLewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at #DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people said.
For the past 7 months, #Bovino has been the public face of a traveling #immigration crackdown on #cities governed by #Democrats. Noem & other #Trump officials gave Bovino the “commander” title & sent him & his masked #CBP agents to #Chicago, #Charlotte, #NewOrleans, & then #Minneapolis.

Bovino’s sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the #Trump admin is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old #AlexPretti by #CBP agents under Bovino’s command.
