(AURN News) — After three shootings and two killings, the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota is out.
Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol commander who led Operation Metro Surge, is expected to leave Minneapolis as the White House scrambles to contain backlash after a second U.S. citizen was shot and killed by federal agents.
That victim, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot multiple times on Saturday while filming agents.
President Donald Trump is now reshuffling his immigration enforcement leadership. His border czar, Tom Homan, will take over ground operations. Some federal agents are also expected to leave the city.
Meanwhile, Republican Chris Madel announced he is dropping out of Minnesota’s governor’s race because of what he called a Republican retribution campaign.
“I cannot support the national Republican stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so,” Madel said.
