Border Patrol leader Gregory Bovino showed no remorse for the Trump administrations aggressive immigration crackdown and said he wished he had deported even more immigrants as he prepares for retirement.
I wish Id caught even more illegal aliens, he recently told the New York Times. I mean, we went as hard as we could, but theres always a creative and innovative solution to catching even more.
Bovino, 55, led a military-style deportation campaign across cities until January, when two Americans were killed at the hands of federal agents during chaotic operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
As he prepares to retire at the end of this month, after nearly 30 years with the agency, he doesnt have regrets about his hard-line methods. We wanted total border domination, Bovino said. When you use terms like that, perhaps it scares some of the weaker-minded people. Domination. I want you to dominate that border. Im not going to control it. Were going to dominate the hell out of that damn place.

"Reassignment and Opposition: After reports of a "leadership shakeup" and a demotion from his national role, it was reported that Bovino was returning to his previous role in El Centro, California, in February 2026.
Local Community Concern: His return to the Imperial Valley (near San Diego) has caused concern among some local residents and activists who are disturbed by the tactics and violent actions of agents under his command, with some calling him a "pariah".
Public Backlash: Reports describe instances of public mockery, with videos showing him being heckled by protestors, and his return has been characterized as a controversial move rather than a popular one in his home community.
As of March 2026, reports indicate that Bovino is expected to retire from the Border Patrol, with some reports placing him returning to his home base, while others mention plans to return to North Carolina".
