Bovino Says DHS Wants Him Dead. The White House Says That’s 'Absurd.'

  • Former Border Protection Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino claimed on 'The Tucker Carlson Show' Thursday that the Trump Administration wants him dead after removing his security detail earlier this year, allegations the White House labeled 'absurd.'
  • Bovino led 'Operation Metro Surge' in Minnesota, a crackdown that ended in January when federal agents killed two American citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, triggering public backlash and his eventual demotion and retirement.
  • Naming specific officials, Bovino accused Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott and White House 'Border Czar' Thomas Homan of orchestrating the security detail removal while present, claiming the move aimed to 'silence' him.
  • White House spokesperson Lauren Bis dismissed the claims as 'absurd,' denying any plot. Despite losing protection, Bovino maintains he faces continuous death threats and has openly criticized administration officials since retiring in March.
  • During the interview, Bovino asserted without evidence that 105 million undocumented immigrants currently reside in the U.S., describing the immigration situation as a 'catastrophe' and continuing his critique of administration policies.
