Donald Trump's ousted border chief Gregory Bovino has launched a blistering public attack on Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and senior Trump aide Susie Wiles at a far-right 'Remigration' summit in Porto, Portugal, on Sunday, accusing the administration of trying to 'water down' mass deportation plans. The news came after months of simmering resentment from Bovino, once the most visible face of Trump's immigration crackdown and now a symbol of its excesses.
The 56-year-old career enforcer was forced into retirement in January after nearly three decades in federal service, following violent clashes between protesters and federal agents in Minneapolis that resulted in the deaths of two 37-year-old US citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, during separate incidents involving federal immigration enforcement. Since then, he has shifted from publicly angling for his old job back to denouncing the very team that pushed him out.
