Ex-Border Patrol commander Bovino was under investigation when he retired

Former Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, known for leading the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts in major U.S. cities, was under internal investigation by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when he retired. The inquiry focused on concerns related to his testimony in federal court and past alleged antisemitic remarks. According to documents obtained by CBS News, CBP notified Bovino via email in March 2026 that an official investigation into misconduct allegations was underway. Bovino submitted his retirement request just 16 days later. The investigation was initially reported by the Chicago Tribune. While CBP declined to comment further, it stated that Bovino voluntarily retired and that the agency provides no security for retirees. Bovino had previously faced scrutiny after the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which sparked political backlash. He was removed from his position as 'commander at large' in late January 2026. Additionally, Bovino was involved in legal disputes over Border Patrol's use of force, with a federal judge finding him untrustworthy in his account of events during protests.
