Mere hours after Saturday's shooting, Bovino described the shooting immigration officer as "fearing for his life" after Pretti "approached immigration agents with a 9mm, semi-automatic handgun." Over the last seven months, Bovino has served as the public face of Trump's immigration crackdown after leading an aggressive immigration operation across Southern California. Under his command, federal agents ripped through the streets of Chicago, conducting high-profile immigration raids. During Bovino's command, immigration agents and the DHS continuously lied about who they were arresting and how they were conducting arrests. While Bovino's forced reassignment is generally a positive step, it does not mean federal immigration agents will stop violating constitutional rights.
