Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino Ejected From Las Vegas Bar

The episode renews scrutiny of his role in Minneapolis operations that preceded two fatal shootings.

Overview

  • Bottled Blonde confirmed staff asked Bovino to leave and escorted him out on January 30 in line with its safety policy.
  • Photos and video showed him drinking with a group inside the venue and later walking the Las Vegas Strip; the bar said it reserves the right to refuse service and does not engage in political activity.
  • Bovino led federal immigration operations in Minneapolis in January during which Renee Good and Alex Pretti were fatally shot, prompting widespread criticism.
  • Several outlets reported he was replaced in Minneapolis and reassigned to California with Tom Homan taking over, but a Homeland Security spokesperson said he has not been relieved of his duties.
  • Bovino has not publicly commented on the Las Vegas incident as images of the night out fueled online backlash.
