DHS launches investigation into Greg Bovino's alleged remarks about Jewish lawyer - report
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has opened an internal investigation into allegations that Gregory Bovino, a senior border patrol official, made disparaging remarks about the Jewish faith of Minnesotas top federal prosecutor, the New York Times reported.
Bovino, who became the public face of the heavily scrutinized immigration crackdown in Minnesota that left two US citizens dead at the hands of federal agents, allegedly mocked federal prosecutor Daniel Rosen during a January phone call with state prosecutors. According to the Times, Bovino allegedly made sarcastic comments about Rosens observance of Shabbat the weekly period of rest from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset and used the phrase chosen people in a derisive tone during the 12 January call.
The call came after Bovino requested a meeting with Rosen to push the Minnesota US attorneys office into a stronger response toward criminalizing people whom Bovino believed were impeding federal agents from enforcing the Trump administrations immigration crackdown in the state, the Times reported on Saturday.
