Gregory Bovino, who became a face of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics in large cities, says he plans to retire from the U.S. Border Patrol in the coming weeks. Bovino joined the Border Patrol in 1996 and steadily rose through the ranks but wasn’t well-known outside the agency until last June, when he took command of a crackdown in Los Angeles. Bovino was a near-daily presence as Minnesota’s Twin Cities turned into a battleground between demonstrators and immigration authorities in January that led to the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has opened an internal investigation into whether the one-time architect of President Donald Trump’s large-scale immigration crackdown made disparaging comments about the Jewish faith while criticizing the U.S. attorney for Minnesota. The investigation comes after The New York Times and CBS News reported on remarks Gregory Bovino allegedly made during a Jan. 12 phone call. A U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in an emailed statement Tuesday that Customs and Border Protection opened an internal inquiry after it received a letter from a congressman inquiring about reporting on anonymous allegations. The spokesperson said this didn't indicate any confirmation of wrongdoing.
