Shortly after immigration operations in Minnesota spiraled out of control in late January that ended with the deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of agents, Border Patrol's "commander at large" Greg Bovino was removed from that role and returned to his previous post as a Border Patrol sector chief in California.
According to a Department of Homeland Security insider, Bovino is now opting to retire rather than face formal ouster as he contends with multiple investigations into his conduct, including one over controversial remarks he made about the Jewish faith of Minnesota's top federal prosecutor during an immigration operation.
