Greg Bovino, a controversial figure in the Border Patrol, is expected to retire from federal service at the end of the month after being relieved of his national leadership role in January and returning to his position in El Centro, California, where he oversaw immigration enforcement operations in major U.S. cities. The move drew criticism from local officials, civil rights advocates, and congressional Democrats. Bovovovo publicly defended the fatal shooting of 37-year-old man by agents under his command.
