Gregory Bovino left DHS to avoid internal investigations into his deportation tactics, insider reveals
Gregory Bovino, a senior U.S. Border Patrol commander, is leaving the Department of Homeland Security in order to sidestep fallout from an internal investigation, an insider has claimed.
Bovino, 55, announced his retirement Monday in an interview with Breitbart, saying he will step down at the end of the month, closing out a decades-long career that drew national attention and scrutiny during President Donald Trumps immigration crackdown. The news of his exit comes less than two weeks after Trump fired Kristi Noem as head of DHS.
The greatest honor of my entire life was to work alongside Border Patrol agents on the border and in the interior of the United States in some of the most challenging conditions the agency has ever faced, he told the right-wing outlet, while stopping short of offering an explanation for his retirement.
A senior DHS staffer who spoke to The Daily Beast shed light on the decision.

A little too late in my opinion. BTW did Trump give him new shoes?
