Das finstere Gesicht von Trumps Vorgehen gegen Migranten und seiner „Turn and Burn“-Strategie

As the Trump administration’s [brutal immigration crackdown](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/trumps-ice-mayhem-misery-warning-europe-4186907?srsltid=AfmBOoqOMISjShj9s7cmAi29yfIpCId0sV9AzJy3ne0Ya5b6nakyXW6u&ico=in-line_link) continues, one man has become the face of the campaign: Gregory Bovino.

US media reported that the Border Control commander has now been ordered to leave Minnesota after federal immigration agents fatally shot two US citizens in Minneapolis in less than three weeks.

Since Trump’s election, Bovino has overseen fierce US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles, Chicago and New Orleans.

This month he established his reputation as a key backer of ICE’s militant operations amid a crackdown in [Minneapolis](https://inews.co.uk/topic/minneapolis?ico=in-line_link), during which Renee Good, a mother of three, and intensive care nurse Alex Pretti, both aged 37, were killed by federal agents.

The Trump administration, led by Homeland Security Secretary [Kristi Noem](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/trump-ice-barbie-kristi-noem-empathy-deportations-4023177?srsltid=AfmBOorF_ftNsvQ5Mz-YzPTsoWmWKNX54Ocj16QE2mz7PknT1tZWI3wN&ico=in-line_link), claimed that Good, an award-winning poet, committed an “act of domestic terrorism” by deliberately driving her car at an ICE agent who fired “defensive shots”.

Bovino backed the narrative, claiming his agents’ actions were “legal, ethical, and moral”, despite video footage, [verified by ](https://inews.co.uk/news/what-videos-of-ice-tell-us-4159532?utm_medium=social&utm_social_post_id=647883633&utm_campaign=social_x_posts&utm_source=x&utm_social_handle_id=205770556&ico=in-line_link)[*The i Paper*](https://inews.co.uk/news/what-videos-of-ice-tell-us-4159532?utm_medium=social&utm_social_post_id=647883633&utm_campaign=social_x_posts&utm_source=x&utm_social_handle_id=205770556&ico=in-line_link), casting doubt on the US government’s account of Good’s shooting.

The Border Patrol commander also took to the podium in a string of press conferences following Pretti’s death, claiming his “poor choices” led to “tragic consequences”.

He went further in an interview with CNN after the shooting, dubbing the federal agents involved in Pretti’s shooting as the incident’s “victims”.

“The victims are the Border Patrol agents,” he said. “I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.”

Amid growing backlash over the shooting, Trump told [*The Wall Street Journal*](https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-says-administration-is-reviewing-everything-about-minneapolis-shooting-a501f48e?mod=WSJ_home_mediumtopper_pos_1) his administration was “reviewing everything” in relation to Pretti’s death.

Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave Minneapolis on Tuesday to return to their respective sectors, with Trump dispatching White House border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis on Monday.

US media reported that Bovino had been reassigned to other duties, however the Department of Homeland Security denied reports that he was removed from his role altogether.

Immigration wasn’t a problem until the organization of migrant labor then border became wide open for cheap labor or in essence a problem created by the estates of debt, inflation, epidemic and domestic terrorism/ crimes against humanity and/or the bigotry toward a living wage.
