Last year, almost no one in the US had heard of Gregory Bovino. Now, he is set to leave his role in Minneapolis—possibly as soon as today—a sudden turn for someone once at the centre of Donald Trump's hardline deportation policies. At 56, his impending departure signals a quiet but significant shift.
His imminent exit, first reported by the Associated Press, follows two fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota this month. Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was killed by an ICE agent on 7 January. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent on 24 January. Both were American citizens.
