White House responds to former Border Patrol leader saying Trump admin wants him dead

  • Former Border Patrol Commander-at-large Gregory Bovino claimed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that officials within the Trump administration want him killed.
  • Bovino accused administration gatekeepers, specifically Border Czar Tom Homan , of revoking his security detail to silence him following his retirement.
  • “Do I think they want me killed? Absolutely,” Bovino told Carlson during the interview, which has been viewed two million times on X alone . “I’m in a running battle every time I go out,” he continued. “I mean, every time the citizens of my own community are like, ‘What is going on with you?’ These people come up. There’s some crazies out there. You know, you know this, Tucker”
  • The White House called Bovino's claims absurd, emphasizing that Tom Homan has decades of experience protecting American communities.
  • Bovino previously spearheaded President Donald Trump 's immigration crackdown before retiring following high-profile enforcement incidents in Minnesota.
  • Without presenting evidence, Bovino also asserted during the interview that 105 million undocumented immigrants are currently living in the United States.
