Border Patrol leader shows no remorse for deportation raids as he readies for retirement: 'I wish I'd caught even more' [View all]

Border Patrol leader Gregory Bovino showed no remorse for the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown — and said he wished he had deported even more immigrants as he prepares for retirement.

“I wish I’d caught even more illegal aliens,” he recently told the New York Times. “I mean, we went as hard as we could, but there’s 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 doesn’t 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. I’m not going to ‘control’ it. We’re going to dominate the hell out of that damn place.”
