Minneapolis withdrawal was 'surrender', Trump's ex-border patrol chief tells BBC

Greg Bovino, the former US border patrol chief who led a controversial deportation operation in Minneapolis, has publicly defended the mission and characterized the administration's decision to pull agents from the city as a "surrender. " Bovino was removed from his position following the fatal shootings of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, during the January operation, which sparked bipartisan criticism and widespread protests. He dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Good's family and claimed his agents were victims of unprecedented violence, expressing regret for not conducting more arrests.
