Border Patrol Chief Defends Minneapolis ICE Crackdown Amid Protests and Violence

CBS Minnesota aired a full interview with Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino in which he defends the Minneapolis ICE crackdown as a Title 8 mission supported by thousands of federal agents and says legal residents should use the CBP Home app to come in lawfully. He characterizes the Renee Good shooting as a difficult, justified response in a volatile situation, stresses the value of video evidence (while noting body-camera rules vary by mission), and acknowledges increased violence against federal officers amid protests. Bovino cites broad public support for the operation, promises transparency, and says the mission will continue until “bad people” are removed, with higher-level leaders monitoring the effort.
