As Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino is reassigned and border czar Tom Homan takes over federal operations in Minneapolis, the agency’s large deployment and tactics have come under intense scrutiny after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti — the second U.S. citizen killed in recent Minnesota federal actions — with bystander videos, local officials and DHS offering sharply conflicting accounts. Critics point to CBP’s documented history of excessive force and limited urban crowd‑control training amid a surge of protests, strikes and political condemnations, while DHS alleges agitators attacked agents, prompting calls for independent investigations and a pullback of the federal presence.
