US Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino was relieved of duty as commander general of the agency following the deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis. The dismissal was reported by Atlantic and confirmed by an official of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz entered a conciliatory tone after a private call, discussing possible reductions of federal agents in the state amid the protest‑related violence that killed nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday. The White House issued a statement through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming the president does not want to see people wounded or killed, calling the nurse’s death a tragedy but blaming “deliberate and hostile resistance” of Democrats. The incident is part of a broader clash between federal immigration enforcement and local protestors in Minneapolis. Title: US Border Patrol Chief Removed After Minneapolis Deaths
