CNN Has Confirmed Greg Bovino and Several of His Agents Are Being Moved Out of Minnesota — Trump Was Unhappy With News Coverage and They’re Headed to Five Cities Starting With Chicago

The US Border Patrol’s chief Greg Bovino and some agents have been ordered out of Minneapolis in a stunning turnaround after a second US citizen was killed by federal agents in the city this month, sources told The Post.

The order does not extend to ICE and it does not include all Border Patrol agents.

However, Bovino will be joining the agents marching out of the state, according to sources.

He has been criticized for his no-holds-barred approach to immigration enforcement, and as well as his claims Saturday that Pretti was brandishing a gun before he was shot by Border agents.

Chaos has reigned in the Minnesota city since Jan. 7 when anti-ICE protestor and mother-of-three Renee Good, 37, was shot dead by an ICE agent after she accelerated her SUV at him.

A second American, armed ICU nurse Pretti, was shot Saturday, and authorities believe that an errant shot from his pistol — after it was removed from him — may have caused agents to open fire.

Pretti, 37, was carrying a pistol in his belt when he put himself between a protestor and ICE agents, and was tackled and disarmed by Border Patrol agents before being shot dead in the scuffle.

Tensions reached a fever pitch after Pretti’s death – with even some Republicans publicly suggesting that the Department of Homeland Security withdraw its agents in a rare break from President Trump’s agenda.

Bovino spent the weekend calling Pretti a “domestic terrorist” who was planning to “massacre” immigration officers, while blaming Democrats like Gov. Tim Walz for “inciting” the chaos.

But President Trump seemed to dial that rhetoric back on Monday, saying he and the governor had a productive conversation about the situation.

“Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial.

Other signs that change might be coming to the White House’s Minnesota campaign emerged Monday after “border czar” Tom Homan was dispatched to take over immigration operations in the state – replacing DHS sec. Kristi Noem.

Homan and Noem are two of Trump’s top immigration enforcement lieutenants, but the pair have held differing ideas about how to approach the issue.

Noem – with Bovino on her side – have sought to target all illegal immigrants in an attempt to maximize the deportation numbers.

Homan, however, has instead sought to focus on deporting illegal immigrants with criminal history or deportation orders already against them, Fox News previously reported.

The administration put on a united front, however, with Noem calling Homan’s assignment “good news for peace, safety and accountability in Minneapolis” in a Monday tweet.

“I have worked closely with Tom over the last year and he has been a major asset to our team — his experience and insight will help,” she wrote.

The investigation into Pretti’s killing, meanwhile, has continued as controversy rages.

DHS officials are probing whether Pretti’s gun may have discharged once they disarmed him – possibly causing officers to respond by firing their weapons, despite Pretti being restrained on the ground.

“It was 100% an accidental discharge by the agent that relieved that person of their weapon. Because everyone’s guns were out, they think that there’s a shooting,” a source told The Post, while others agreed that was the prevailing theory within the DHS.

That is a departure from the DHS’ original stance, which claimed Pretti was menacing officers with his fully-permitted weapon with the intent to “massacre” them before agents intervened.
