1/2 🧵While there would certainly be hurdles...some of them big ones...Minnesota CAN bring state criminal charges against Greg Bovino if investigators develop evidence that he personally committed a Minnesota crime (or aided/abetted...conspired...or obstructed in connection with one).

Did Bovino have a speck of decency to apologize, at least just for what he said about Pretti? No.
Did JD Vance? No.
Did Stephen Miller? No.
Did Kristi Noem? No.
They simply lack basic human decency and have no business being in senior positions of the US government.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

NEW: In response to Alex Pretti's killing, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said that it was "really hard to watch" protesters carrying upside-down American flags.
He called protesters "lawless hordes" and said they should go "back to Mogadishu."
He also blamed Pretti for (legally) carrying a gun.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
