Following the second shooting death of a Minneapolis citizen by federal immigration officers, Bovino was taken out of Minnesota and reassigned to his old Customs and Border Protection position as chief patrol agent in El Centro, California. The Atlantic's Nick Miroff reported earlier this week that Bovino is essentially losing his job as he is expected to retire soon. That remains to be seen, but this much is true: He has effectively been erased from a leadership role in Trump's immigration crackdown.

Two United States federal agents involved in the fatal shooting of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti during an immigration raid in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, as fallout from the most recent killing of a US citizen continues to cause outrage. The two officers have been on leave since Saturday, in what US officials said on Wednesday was standard protocol, when Pretti was shot multiple times after being forced to the ground by masked immigration officers in an altercation that quickly turned deadly.

The federal government is demanding a black box operation on our soil,

The next time someone visits the US, customs may ask to see their passport, their Facebook feed, and all of their Instagram posts. The United States maintains a list of 42 countries whose citizens are allowed to enter without a visa, but visitors from those nations may soon have to provide five years' worth of their social media history in order to gain entry.

Along the way, they've collected civil-rights suits and irate federal judges, and the list of people they've arrested has been light on hardened criminals. They've also produced plenty of video footage. "Nobody tells us where to go, when to go, how to go in our fucking country," Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino said in one of his many John Wick -style promotional videos, this one showing him giving a pep talk to agents in Chicago.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino was there. He could be seen in cellphone video with an apparent tear gas canister in his hand. Residents demanded the detained woman's release while in pursuit of their caravan. During the incident, DHS says an unknown male, who was driving a black Jeep, fired shots at agents and fled the scene. DHS also said "an unknown number of agitators" threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles.

The current official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity, said 12 ICE field office directors - the officers who run the network of field offices around the country responsible for immigration enforcement - were being reassigned. Half are to be replaced by existing or retired Customs and Border Protection staff, while the other half would be replaced by ICE officers, both the current and former officials said.

The attorney for a woman who was shot by federal agents in Chicago over the weekend after she allegedly rammed a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicle has claimed that body-camera footage captures one of the officers saying, Do something, bitch, before opening fire, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The shooting occurred on Saturday morning in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, as immigration agents, at the behest of the second Trump administration, have been scouring Illinois's largest city for people to deport.

Fuck you! You fucking facists!

According to Masimo, the CBP 'inexplicably reversed course' from its prior rulings in finding that Apple could overcome the LEO by shipping its smartwatches separately from iPhones.

U.S. border agents searched more electronic devices during a three-month period than ever before, according to new government statistics. The data shows that U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency tasked with immigration screening at the U.S. border, searched 14,899 devices of international travelers between April through June, a 17% rise on the previous record high recorded in early 2022.

Inside a windowless and dark shipping container turned into a high-tech surveillance command center, two analysts peered at their own set of six screens that showed data coming in from an MQ-9 Predator B drone. Both were looking for two adults and a child who had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and had fled when a Border Patrol agent approached in a truck.

A man contacted dispatch claiming masked men tried to pull him over, broke his car window and shot at him, asking for police assistance.

I have no idea why I was targeted. They don't talk to you. They don't give you a reason. You're just left confused, angry and worried.

The Global Entry program allows international travelers considered "low-risk" to fast-track customs and immigration procedures when arriving in the United States.
