Border Patrol Shuffle, Trump Team Distances Itself After Storm, Shooting

Border Patrol Commander to Leave Minneapolis After Fatal Shooting

Minneapolis, MN – U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave the Minneapolis area soon, according to sources familiar with the move, CBS News reported Monday. The departure follows the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital, by a Border Patrol agent on Saturday.

President Trump and Gov. Walz stated they are collaborating to scale down the surge of federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey added that he spoke with President Trump, who agreed "that the present situation cannot continue."

Bovino is returning to El Centro, California, to resume his duties as chief of that sector, multiple sources told ABC News. The position of commander-at-large was a temporary one. Dept. of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Monday that Bovino "has NOT been relieved of his duties," referring to him as a "key part of the Presidents team and a great American."

The Trump White House is distancing itself from claims made by top administration officials in the immediate aftermath of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, ABC News reported. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller quickly accused Pretti of domestic terrorism after Saturday's shooting without citing any evidence.

A growing number of Republicans are questioning or criticizing the Trump administration's response to the killing of Alex Pretti, CBS News reported. Some Trump allies are calling for an investigation into Pretti's shooting. Some Republicans have chafed at the fact that top Trump administration officials almost immediately argued the shooting was justified.

Two U.S. officials told CBS News some of the Border Patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis had body cameras.

The incidents occurred as a deadly storm impacted large portions of the country, causing hundreds of thousands of power outages and snarling roadways with ice and snow, CBS News reported. At least 19 storm-related deaths have been confirmed across several states.
