Gregory Bovino applauded his agents’ actions in Minnesota, despite one citizen being killed by agents.
Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino on Sunday said his Customs and Border Patrol agents are “the victims” after they shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minnesota. In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash pointed out that Bovino had repeatedly referred to Pretti as a “suspect” as he defended CBP’s training and de-escalation tactics.
“With respect, it feels as though in some ways you’re blaming the victim here,” Bash said.
Bovino replied, “The victim? The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.”

They ought to be careful what they wish for. It is very dangerous to pre-normalize ICE being assaulted with firearms. What if violent extremists took that as a sign to escalate to bombs or something? They just leave their shit lying around everywhere, put their guys in hotels, dress up in costumes; all very irresponsible.
During WW2 Danes who profiteered on collaboration with the Nazi occupiers risked getting their businesses blown up. I don’t know why I felt the need to write… I really dont.
Anyway, is ICE renting hotel rooms? What are they doing about transportation? I mean when they decend on a new city all the time, then they must get local vehicles. What about food services? Laundry? Toilet paper? If people risk their businesses by doing business with ICE, then the infrastructure behind the occupation collapses.
“Bovino… the victim … in deadly Minneapolis shooting”
A person can dream
You don’t call people like that a victim when they fall. He can never be a victim.
He is such a foul, disgusting excuse for a waste of a man.
The good news is this traitor will never have freedom of movement in this country ever again in his life. He will never be safe in public.
He’s choosing to retire in CA hahaha. I hope the resident never let him have a moment’s peace.
Fascists always claim to be the victims.
A tale as old as time.
Going to be awkward when the inner circle shrinks and people realise his name ends with a vowel.
I don’t get it
Some levels of racism involve the belief that Italians aren’t white
Ohhhh, sheesh, that didn’t even occur to me. Thanks.
I can’t keep all of the murders over the years straight. Which one was it where reps from the police union tried to make a statement to the press and the one guy was just blubbering through his crocodile tears claiming that they were the victims?
Bovinois a blind bastardized bum sucker with his head firmly planted up trumps ass
The republican admin want them to be victims of something, that’s for sure. That’s why ICE are searching so hard, to find what they are looking for.
Be careful of what you wish for
“Durr, no way, idiot! The leopards won’t eat my face. I’m the specialist boi!”
“That’s why they gave me this special mask and my special gun, then told me not to think about consequences before they released me into the wild. Sir, yes, sir!” 🫡
Look at me I’m narcissistic long coat wearing asshole. Like most narcissist I completely lack empathy and am never wrong. I’m always the victim even where I’m hurting people. signed Bovine Asshole.
A victim in the sense the rapist is the victim cause they were asking for it?
If good ran that pig over she might still be alive. If Alex dripped those pigs with his gun he might still be alive
Lil Greg doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “victim”. Lil Greg should be given an experiential teaching of the word.
I’m not opposed to people getting their just comeuppance, but it’s pretty plain to see the absolute thirst they have for victim-hood. If they really were victims they’d run out of synonyms to describe the extent of it. Not just because they’re borderline illiterate, but also because they’ve spent 20 years feeling sorry for themselves when nobody has so much as checked them on any of their shitty behavior.
If trans existence is the embodiment of an “oppressive regime” then being murdered on the street would be the embodiment of… “an oppressive regime?”
Punchable face.
Bovino should be in danger.
He’s going to wake up Charlie Kirked one of these days
I think you’re probably right if what you mean is he’s going to be killed to further inflame tensions. Somewhat tangential, but I’d also be scared if I was Usha Vance.
I have no sympathy for any of these profligate whorechildren, fuck the lot of em.
She could just reupholster herself in a nice neutral pleather, like Erika Kirk did. She’ll be fine.
Remind us how many times you voted for Trump.
That question doesn’t make sense. Did you respond to the right comment?
thats why he surrounds himself with all the brownosers.
Greg ‘The Cow’ Bovino applauding the killing of an innocent US citizen by the feckless slobs under his command
Hey don’t dis cows like that.
I have no idea why nobody is killing these people.
They are extremely well funded. Literally more money than most countries’ militaries.
200 billion in the bank. Minus what they spent this year, but I think they are cutting them a new check as we speak. Extracting money from the government is the reason for being for most of congress, most of the executive too for that matter.
Only China and the US spend more than 200 billion on their militaries. These guys will bankrupt the country and de facto default by printing money before they are out of there I fear.
And less trained than your local boy scout troop.
Don’t fall for this narrative, so far the ICE murderers have had an average of 8 years of experience each.
My point stands.
True, especially if you include the
ROTCCub Scouts.Also, FYI it’s just called Scouting now because they accept everyone and aren’t hamstrung by the same troop-ruining insurance agents and greedy capitalist pigs that ruined Girl Scouts.
Yeah I heard they were getting their shit together in the last couple decades. Good for them.
To be fair he’s a really small target.
Murdered. Not killed, he was murdered. We all saw the video.
And after murdering him, and Alex Pretti’s body lay on the street, they stood back and shot him 5 more times.
