Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino to return to El Centro
(KYMA, NBC) - A senior White House official confirms Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is returning to his previous role in El Centro, California.
Officials say Bovino will no longer serve as commander overseeing Border Patrol operations in interior U.S. cities.
He will instead resume his position as Sector Chief in El Centro, a role he held before being appointed commander in Los Angeles.
The Department of Homeland Security is pushing back on claims Bovino was removed, saying he has not been relieved of his duties and remains a key part of President Trump's team.
This comes after a Trump Administration official said the number of Border Patrol agents will be reduced in Minneapolis.
