Token changes to mollify people. Don’t slow down.

Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change

So he gets a nice comfy retirement

Bovino’s sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the Trump administration is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents under Bovino’s command.

Lol. No.

Good. Now try him for his crimes.

He needs to retire into a prison cell.

It's afraid

Should be sent directly to The Hague, do not pass Go.

peak of his career really did turn out to be prancing around at a few gas stations in an ugly coat trying to look tough.

time for more local organizing while they try a new tactic.

To be replaced by someone just as bad I'm sure.

I think minnesota could probably get him on some form of Dereliction of Duty/RICO and throw in felony murder.

I sure hope they don't let these characters just slink off into the shadows, never to face any consequences whatsoever.

the first scapegoat.

I kinda suspect that the administration was told or it was heavily suggested by higher ups in the military that "yeah...if you go with this insurrection act we're not going to have your backs on this one." Otherwise why would they be throwing Bovino under the bus for this?

What has happened thus far is apparently what they wanted according to project 25 but like I said I suspect they don't have the support of the people they NEED the support from.

Twin Cities are creating a legend for themselves. Incredible resistance.

I hope he retires and tries to live out in the general public. Lets see him try to go to the grocery store or eat in a restaurant. At minimum he'll have spit in all his food for the rest of his dumbass life, assuming he doesnt end up in prison for his civil rights crimes under color of law.

Get fucked

Governor Tim Walz—whom the White House has blamed for inciting violence—and the two men are now on “a similar wavelength.”

Once again, he just goes along with whomever he spoke with last

He barely had time for one photo op though. Gestapo Greg was looking forward to lowering the bar even more so he can reach it.

Bye 👋

We'll always remember you unfondly. Hope whoever they replace you with isn't somehow fucking worse

Hopefully he downloaded the Epstein files on the way out

That's a good start.

The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Finally, some accountability. Can’t imagine a worse punishment than being sent to El Centro.

Good riddance you sack of shit! Prosecute the racist loser too.

Back to making shitty cookies in a tree with Jeff Sessions.

I hope someone holds a grudge and he's hunted down.

This asshole is going to retire with full benefits.

He did not. Unfortunately.

Trump has always been happy to throw underlings under the bus. Nothing will change until Trump and those directly under him are replaced.

Nah. They sent him home to retire. Kind of like an extreme version of suspended, but with full pay.

A number of ICE agents may also be redeployed/withdrawn. But he's being replaced by the guy who came up with Trumps immigration policy... 😳 What to know about Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, as he heads to Minneapolis

When will his head roll?

Until he loses his life, it means nothing

They just cycled a key figure out of public view. This is PR strategy - when criticism against a particular organization or any of its key figure(s) reaches a certain point, replace some key figures.

Tr;dr: the frogs in the pot all cheer as the cook is replaced and their replacement turns down the hob a touch.

People tend to see key figures as representative of entire organizations, e.g., there are so many people who see removing Trump as being a solution despite him being a clear symptom of the problem. Letting some take a fall is a PR win grab bag: many people interpret the "punishment" of a few people as being applied to the whole organization and it suggests reform and atonement without actually changing anything substantial. Then the new figures start and optionally say they're changing strategies for future improvement - "it'll work but it takes time, just trust me bro."

As long as this round of musical chairs tells a story that enough critics want to hear, enough mounting critical pressure is reduced for the cycle to continue a bit longer.

Someone needs to make renderings of his face with hair. You know, for the future.

He is going retire out to Venuzula or Argentina and grow a funny mustache.

Who will represent the Hitler Youth at ICE?

He was fired for getting caught.

The only thing this does it show his other loyalist that being loyal and doing everything they tell you to do won't mean you keep your position.

Even though he's likely going to still get paid or given some stocks or trump coins or something instead of being held accountable, it's still an act that will clearly shows that trump will not stand by you when you get in trouble for following his orders.

His lackys are already bickering and at each other. This will fuel the fire.

Iwould say that he got promotion.

Don’t they have death sentence in that hell of a country?
