From raids to replies: Controversial ex-Border Patrol boss Bovino takes social media by storm — defiant, sarcastic and unapologetic
The former Border Patrol commander, reassigned under Trump after controversial immigration raids, regained control of his X (Twitter) account and resumed combative online exchanges, targeting critics like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
