A top U.S. Border Patrol official, Gregory Bovino, and several agents under his command are expected to depart Minneapolis on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Their anticipated exit comes shortly after President Donald Trump announced the deployment of White House border czar Tom Homan to the city, a move that has intensified federal involvement in immigration and enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
While the exact reasons for Bovino’s departure have not been officially disclosed, the development is widely seen as linked to the expanded role now being assumed by Homan, who has been tasked by the White House with overseeing border and immigration-related enforcement efforts. The dispatch of Homan suggests a possible reorganization or consolidation of federal authority in response to ongoing concerns around immigration enforcement, public safety, or coordination with local officials.
Federal authorities have so far remained tight-lipped on the duration of Homan’s assignment or whether additional federal resources will be deployed. However, the sequence of events underscores the administration’s heightened focus on border and immigration policy enforcement within major U.S. cities.
Minneapolis officials have not yet issued a formal response, and it remains unclear how the transition will affect ongoing operations or cooperation between federal agencies and local law enforcement.
