Bovino was removed from the role of commander and returned to his position as CBP sector chief in El Centro, California, after leading aggressive immigration enforcement operations.
Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol head who became the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, will retire at the end of the month, two Customs and Border Protection officials told NBC News.
Bovino was removed from his role as CBP commander at large in January and returned to his role as Border Patrol sector chief in El Centro, California. The move came after the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and aggressive immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles.
His exit coincides with the date Donald Trump announced would be Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s last day in the job. In Bovino's position as commander, he reported directly to Noem and her senior adviser Corey Lewandowski.

He better keep looking over his shoulder. Never know when it’s going to happen.

He plastered his Nazi face everywhere.
He is going to get punched in the dick a lot.

Not good enough!

He was patrolling the southern border in Minneapolis. They should send him on one last deployment. And send him to patrol the southern border in Antarctica. Then forget to bring him home.

Exactly

What? So he can tear gas the penguins?
Send him to the North Pole. He might give a polar bear some indigestion, but that’s acceptable.

This gets in my craw as he is just barely older than me and going to have a nice retirement while im whittling away savings and wonder if I will lose my home. Don't go to college kids its a dead end.

No, the problem is that you don't try to fuck over your fellow Americans hard enough.

I'm from an impoverished blue-collar background and one big reason I'm now moderately well-off is because I went to college. It's only a dead end for some. For many others, t's a necessary but not sufficient condition for having a decent life.
And looking downthread: no, I've never fucked over any of my fellow Americans. I'm probably poorer as a result, but at least I have a clear conscience.

If you mean your parents then I am to. I honestly don't think I could have finished college if I had done it this millenium. I cam out with a debt equivalent to a car loan. Granted a luxury car but still. I see debt levels that are mortgage level now. Having a car loan without a car is one thing but having a mortgage without a house is another. I often think about how if I had grabbed a nice janitor position after high school and invested the money I put toward college I would be much better off now.

How much you wanna bet that if this whole thing unravels and Republicans can't steal elections as they hope in time that many of these pieces of shit will flee to Moscow and Tel Aviv?

They didn't send tens of billions of dollars to Argentina not to follow their ideological forefathers there.

They should absolutely be brought to justice, but I’ll accept a country free of them.

Don’t forget Argentina. We handed them a lot of money and Nazis love Argentina!

Prosecution is the only path forward.

The only path within the system, that is.

He should be in prison, instead he gets a nice retirement package.

May a thousand bags of burning dogshit land on his porch every day of his retirement. I hope he hides in his house for all of it. Little fucking insect.

If he was smart he would get ahead of the game and find a nice place in Argentina
GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 158d
Time for whichever official has the jurisdiction to dishonorably discharge him and forfeit his retirement - you know, like Trump did with McCabe and tried to do with Kelly?
Ledivin@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 158d
Honestly, I missed him being removed in January.

He's only retiring because he's hit mandatory retirement age.
