Gregory Bovino, former Border Patrol commander-at-large who was the face<\/a> of President Donald Trump\u2019s disastrous \u201cOperation Metro Surge\u201d in Minnesota, apparently believes that he can be president.<\/p> According to NewsNation, Bovino has launched<\/a> an exploratory committee ahead of the 2028 presidential election.<\/p> “NewsNation is reporting I\u2019m exploring a run for President in 2028. Here\u2019s the truth: My one and only priority is deporting the 106 million illegals who are here. That\u2019s it,\u201d Bovino wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cMy commitment is simple, liberate America from this invasion and restore our quality of life. If running for President is what it takes to actually get it done, then all options are on the table.\u201d<\/p> The website for the committee features photos of Bovino in his long black coat, which German media has called<\/a> a \u201cNazi look.\u201d The site features<\/a> the slogan \u201cmen fight back\u201d and refers to Bovino, who retired<\/a> in March, as \u201cThe Commander.\u201d<\/p> Echoing neo-Nazi rhetoric, the site also refers to the purported spread of \u201cone-world\u201d government under former President Barack Obama and argues that Bovino can usher in a \u201cgreat restoration\u201d of the country.<\/p> Bovino was the face<\/a> of Trump\u2019s Minnesota immigration raid, which disrupted the lives of thousands, made immigrant communities live in fear, and led to the killing of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good<\/a> and Alex Pretti<\/a>.<\/p> Bovino has repeatedly claimed that undocumented immigrants are a major source of crime in the United States, echoing unfounded allegations from figures like Trump and Stephen Miller, Trump\u2019s racist senior adviser and top architect of his anti-immigrant policies.<\/p> But while in charge, Bovino admitted<\/a> that he was tasked with meeting deportation quotas set by the administration.<\/p> Despite trying to portray himself as a tough, military-style figure, Bovino went whining<\/a> to Fox News last August after California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized him and the troops under his command for trying to intimidate voters.Bovino retired after much of the country turned against<\/a> Trump\u2019s immigration goons, and he was reassigned within the agency. Since then, he complained<\/a> to podcaster and conspiracy theorist Lauren Witzke that \u201cour culture is at stake\u201d\u2014a common white supremacist talking point.<\/p> Bovino also traveled to Europe<\/a> in May, where he met up with the leaders of some right-wing extremist movements, including Germany\u2019s Alternative for Germany and Spain\u2019s Vox. <\/p> \u201cI am very happy to come over and lend some expertise to the Europeans [to tackle] illegal aliens destroying European culture,\u201d he said, citing Nazi General Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure.<\/p> The Republican Party has increasingly tied itself to the white supremacist movement through continued support of Trump and the rising influence of figures like conservative podcaster and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes<\/a>. <\/p> Bovino considering a 2028 presidential bid shows that the party\u2014and the wider conservative movement\u2014isn\u2019t moderating at all.<\/p> Reprinted with permission from <\/em>Daily Kos<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n
