US EditionTop US Border Patrol official Bovino, some agents to leave Minneapolis: Report
Gregory Bovino and some Border Patrol agents are leaving Minneapolis amid criticism over immigration enforcement tactics after fatal shooting; Tom Homan will oversee operations.
- On January 26, 2026, reports said Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave Minnesota imminently.
- After the fatal shooting, city protests intensified as videos circulated showing 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti was fatally shot during a federal operation.
- The White House dispatched Tom Homan, White House border czar, to Minneapolis on Monday to manage Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and serve as the main point of contact.
- After a phone call between Gov. Tim Walz and President Donald Trump, the president said they appeared on a similar wavelength, while a federal lawsuit seeks to reduce agents to pre-surge levels.
- With Operation Metro Surge deploying more than 3,000 federal agents, about 2,000 are Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and about 1,000 are Customs and Border Patrol officers, though it remains unclear how many Border Patrol agents will be pulled back.
