Yup. Bovino's formal role is unclear (itself a red flag) but he reports directly to Noem, so he's essentially the CBP chief and/or an undersecretary.

And yet he's always on-scene in tactical gear. 100% playing a part for TV, but with real consequences for everyone else.
Also, I wonder if people get how strange it is that Bovino keeps showing up on all these raids.

He's one of the top-most CBP officials there is. It'd be like if NYPD Commish Tisch kept putting on body armor to do small drug raids in NYC all the time.

Lays bare that this is all about spectacle.
I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.

Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”

This is who we lost yesterday.

In my book I wrote about research from NYU’s Eric Knowles and others into the “minority collusion” fear: that White Republicans in particular have a bizarre idea that non-Whites act collectively against Whites.

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.”

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

When cops kill, police agencies often mislead, exonerate too quickly, smear the deceased, use the exonerative tense, etc.

But there's at least usually some solemnity -- acknowledgement that the loss of life is regrettable.

It's the absolute glee in these responses that I can't shake.
