Minnesota Border Patrol Shakeup as Bovino and Several Agents Exit

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is due to leave Minnesota as several agents depart after leading Operation Metro Surge. Bovino drew criticism for publicly claiming that Alex Pretti, a nurse shot by agents, intended to cause “maximum damage,” a claim not supported by public video and reports. Investigations note a handgun and second magazine were found on Pretti; he had no criminal record and possessed a lawful permit, with some video angles suggesting an agent disarmed him before the shooting.
