Gregory Bovino, commander in chief of the United States (US) Border Patrol, was removed from the position he held since 2019, amid a wave of outrage over the criminal actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This decision came after the assassination of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, last week, and Renée Good, in early January, in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which led to massive protests against ICE in several locations in the North American nation.

The former head of ICE, nicknamed the “White House border czar”, Tom Homan, was appointed by President Donald Trump to head the so-called law enforcement agencies in the state of Minnesota, according to international media.
