Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied the claims that Bovino had been relieved of his duties as Border Patrol ‘commander at large,’ which was first reported by The Atlantic

Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and will return back to his old job in California, according to reports.

Bovino, who has been heavily involved in crackdowns on immigration across the country, will return to El Centro and is expected to retire soon, a DHS official and two other sources told The Atlantic.

It comes following the recent chaotic events in Minneapolis, in which two protesters have been shot dead by federal agents in less than three weeks. Renee Nicole Good was shot by an ICE agent on January 7 and ICU nurse Alex Pretti was killed Saturday.

My understanding is that a shutdown would not stop ICE. They would not be part of that.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The Dems have made a list of demands about ICE, the DHS and Border Patrol, that ultimately amount to not even a wrist slap.

The GOP is refusing to move an inch on it.

The Dems are now threatening a shutdown if their demands aren't met.

Now the Dems are colossal pussies, so they'll likely capitulate again. That being said, Trump and the rest of the fascists know they took the bigger reputation L with the last shutdown, and they're afraid of another.

Yes, but ICE and CPB are already funded, and would continue to operate during a government shutdown, unless I'm mistaken.

We need to seriously just take a list of schumer's investments and boycott them all until he grows a spine. That motherfucker is so upset when stock price go down that he's repeatedly sold out the public on funding ICE

They got 200 billion last year.
