TL;DR

Former Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, set to retire, argues Trump-era immigration crackdowns weren’t hard enough and says he would have caught more illegal entrants; he led the Minnesota Operation Metro Surge, was demoted after two killings, and in a New York Times interview defended his aggressive tactics and praised Trump, while facing civil-rights lawsuits and an internal probe; he plans to address invasive species in North Carolina after retirement.
