The Trump administration’s mass deportation crusade was shifting into high gear with the rollout of a nationwide ‘city-hopping’ blitz when controversial shootings in Minnesota derailed that train as it left the station, recently-retired U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Commander Gregory K. Bovino revealed in an interview with immigration news outlet Border Hawk.
Bovino explained how USBP tactical units and supporting agencies deployed from military aircraft in the middle of the night and took Chicago by storm.
Commander Bovino: Border Patrol Was Launching Nationwide Lightning Strikes From Military Aircraft When Minneapolis Clashes Killed Mass Deportation Momentum

“The Chicago quick-strike operation was a thing of beauty, an absolute gem,” Bovino beamed.
“We loaded up on C-130s, C-47s — hundreds of Border Patrol agents in the middle of the night… We left under the cover of darkness, landed with all equipment, ready to go, off the airstrip, off the transport planes, right into everything we needed. Straight into Little Village in Chicago we went. We took them by complete surprise. They were definitely not expecting the Mean Green Team to be there at 6 a.m.”
Bovino said his men were preparing to carry out similar lightning strikes “multiple times a day, throughout the United States, in addition to those large-scale, conventional operations” when the Trump administration caved to political pressure following the deaths of left-wing activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
“We have the manpower, the know-how, the equipment. All we needed was the willpower. Unfortunately, that willpower left us like a balloon shooting in the air there in Minneapolis,” Bovino asserted.
“Large scale, total-spectrum immigration enforcement — we were right on the cusp. The good thing is, we can get that back because U.S. Border Patrol have that in their playbook, ready to go at a moment’s notice. That’s your expeditionary force. That’s your uniformed special operations immigration team. They can do that, and it’s really not that hard because they spent a year perfecting that craft, perfecting that mission in any environment in the United States or said territories of the United States. Permissive or non-permissive, it doesn’t matter. They’re ready to go. It’s just that willpower.”

ANYTHING that works, the government eliminates.
Same with DOGE…it was working too good & that is why it was eliminated.
THEY DID NOT WANT TO ARREST THEIR “OWN”!
The US govt took down the KKK and the Mafia, but ANIFA intimidates them.
The terrorist group has unlimited funding and are allowed to do anything they want.
ICE is one of the most hated groups in America, by both Liberals and True Conservatives alike. The only people who support ICE are the minority of brain dead Trump Supporters who cheer lead the fact that Constitutional Rights are suspended based on an “ID check.” Well, I do not carry ID or money when I go out for a walk or a bicycle ride, which is my right and the law. You only need valid ID when purchasing items that require over the age of 21 or driving a car. ICE needs to go!
This is a sign of great leadership.
Go team MAGA
As designed. Trump knew that would draw heat. It just a way to not deport.
“Welp, we cant do what the MAJORITY voted for because the minority is getting upset.” WTF
Just add this one to the ever growing list of Trump The Betrayer
I don’t drink, but Im buying a bottle of champagne come midterms. The devastation should be memorable 😆
Yeah just what we need, a military response to a civilian problem. This isn’t that complicated. You stop a suspect, ask them to present a valid ID, Green card or I94. If they can’t – professionally and courteously (unless they resist) transferred off to an immigration holding area for processing. No drama required. What do expect in terms of response when you see five guys dragging a women out of her car and throwing her to the ground to apply handcuffs… Big heroes. World of clowns and fools.
Silent weapons for quiet wars. The civilians end up being obliviously used as a military in social. economic- eventually kinetic warware while lazy propaganda tells gullible people not to notice and manufacture outrage.
If anything he should have doubled-down on the military response and applied it to the NGOs. “Philanthropists”, and every other treasonous piece of shit the contributed to the subversion
Deport all illegals…..THATS WHAT WE VOTED FOR….WELL ME ANYWAY
Me too.
That was his main platform. Deportations.
What did we get? An Iran war for Israel and higher prices.
Problem is, you can’t change the helmsman ( trump) on the Pirate ship (us government) It’s still gonna be a Pirate ship.
Maybe after a few thousand more murders of Americans by foreign invaders, we might get that willpower Bovino speaks of.
