Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican Homeland Security Committee member, said on CBS's Face the Nation that Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino "crossed the line" in overseeing the Minneapolis immigration crackdown, and Bovino has been pulled out of the operation and returned to his El Centro post amid backlash and threats. The leadership change — with Border Czar Tom Homan taking over public direction — comes as the operation, launched after two controversial federal‑agent shootings in Minneapolis that raised questions about body‑worn cameras and DHS messaging, has drawn scrutiny of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and prompted direct talks between the White House, Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey even as federal agents remain in the city.
