[TexasTowelie]

Summary

Brian discusses the reported demotion of Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol chief overseeing ICE operations, following fatal shootings in Minneapolis. According to The Atlantic, Bovino is being removed from his role and returning to California, likely to retire soon.

Key Points:

• Political fallout: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and adviser Corey Lewandowski, Bovino's main supporters, are also reportedly at risk of losing their jobs
• Impeachment efforts: Representative Robert Garcia states that Noem should be impeached for constitutional violations and the treatment of Americans by ICE agents
• Administration denial: The White House denies Bovino has been relieved, calling him "a key part of the president's team"

Public Opinion Collapse:

The excerpt highlights dramatic polling declines:

• ICE approval: Dropped from 0 points (neutral) in Trump's first term to -27 points after Minneapolis
• DHS approval: Fell from 59% (late 2017) to 42% currently
• Noem's approval: Consistently negative, worsening from -11 to -16 points

Main Argument:

Brian emphasizes that public pressure works—the administration is responding to cratering poll numbers and protests. He argues Trump has turned immigration from his strongest issue into a political disaster, and encourage continued activism to hold the administration accountable.

1. Out of his jurisdiction

I don't understand how US Customs and Border Protection can be legally operating in Minneapolis. Their jurisdiction is at the US/Canada and US/Mexico borders and at airports. They are also allowed to operate within 100 miles of a coastline or border. Minneapolis is out of their jurisdiction. I also don't understand how the head twerp from CBP can direct the actions ICE agents.
