Ousted Border Patrol Officer Greg Bovino was revealed Tuesday to have claimed minority status, according to previously unreported legal documents obtained by The New York Times and despite his admission to having referred to undocumented migrants as “filth” and “trash.”

Bovino was moved out of his role at “commander at large” of the US Border Patrol in January following the deadly immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota that led to the killings of American citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Set to retire this week, Bovino spoke with the Times for a Tuesday report that uncovered a surprising revelation.
Bovino was forced to testify shortly after being assigned to work in Louisiana in 2018 in a discrimination lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by four DHS employees. During his testimony, Bovino admitted to calling undocumented migrants “scum,” “filth” and “trash.”

In his testimony, he also admitted that he claimed to be a member of a minority group himself.

“He identified his race as ‘Native American’ and his tribe as Cherokee,” the Times report reads. “He testified that he had identified this way since he was 8 years old, but said he was not registered on any official tribal rolls. To reward top performance, he said, he gave out tomahawks.”

5. His grandparents emigrated from Italy ... is that a "minority"?

It says he was born in California, but since age 2 he grew up in North Carolina. He's a "good ol' boy."

6. one more time - a surprising number of minority people harbor little sympathy

for immigrants in general - and even less for 'illegals'
(and I use the word 'surprising' - when it really should no longer apply. this has been fairly common knowledge - borne out in polling and studies - for a fair length of time. discouraging - but just plain true.)

7. Remember when Trump and other Republicans attacked Elizabeth Warren for claiming NA ancestry?
