Border Patrol Boss Tells Agents In LA 'It's Our F--king City' In Newly Released Video

Border Control chief Greg Bovino was recorded in a newly released video telling agents in Los Angeles, “It’s our f—ing city,” while promoting aggressive arrest tactics. The body-camera footage, which surfaced amid a federal lawsuit, highlights ongoing legal challenges to immigration enforcement practices in the Chicago area. U. S. District Judge Sara Ellis has extended a temporary restraining order that limits the use of force by federal agents, specifically against peaceful protesters and journalists.

In his deposition, Bovino was questioned about his remarks, where he clarified that he did not mean officers could arrest anyone who merely touched them. Ellis criticized the government's portrayal of violence in the Chicagoland area, calling it untrue and unsupported by evidence. She pointed out Bovino's admission of dishonesty regarding an incident in Little Village, where he claimed to have been struck by a rock prior to deploying tear gas. The lawsuit reflects heightened scrutiny and tension surrounding immigration enforcement in the region. As legal challenges continue, advocacy for accountability and reform in immigration practices is likely to persist.
