Homeland Security sources confirm that Border Patrol teams under Commander Gregory Bovino will change tactics in their ongoing enforcement operations.
Instead of sweeping raids like those that have taken place at locations including Home Depot, agents will now be narrowing their focus to specific targets, such as illegal immigrants convicted of heinous crimes.
While the tactics are changing, operations such as “Catahoula Crunch” in NOLA will continue. Thus far, that operation has yielded 250 or more arrests in a week. DHS has said the end goal for the operation is 5,000 arrests.

The Rise and Fall of Greg Bovino: Border Patrol’s ‘Commander at Large’
Greg Bovino, once a low-profile Border Patrol chief in California, shot to fame as the face of Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. Leading masked agents into Democratic cities, he became a symbol of the administration’s urban raids—until Minneapolis turned into his Waterloo.
“Better get used to us now, because this is going to be normal very soon,”
Bovino told Fox News after a controversial raid in Los Angeles.
His tactics drew praise from Trump loyalists and condemnation from critics. Federal judges called his agents’ use of force “shocking,” and after the fatal shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, even Trump distanced himself, calling Bovino “a pretty out-there guy”.
Bovino’s direct line to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gave him unusual power, but also made him a lightning rod. When he defended the Minneapolis shootings—despite video evidence contradicting his claims—his credibility took a hit. Critics say his actions damaged the reputation of the entire agency.
Now, Bovino has been pulled back to California, with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan taking over in Minneapolis. For immigration hardliners, it’s a betrayal. For others, it’s a sign that the administration is finally feeling the heat.
So who’s really in charge—Bovino, Noem, or the backlash?
