Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who became the face of the Trump administration's controversial immigration enforcement, plans to retire at the end of March, multiple news organizations reported on March 16.
In an interview with Breitbart Texas, Bovino, now a chief patrol agent along California's El Centro sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, announced he would be leaving the agency in the coming weeks, but has not yet submitted the required paperwork. CBS News, NBC News, and CNN, citing anonymous sources, also reported that Bovino is retiring after nearly three decades with Border Patrol.
"The greatest honor of my entire life was to work alongside Border Patrol agents on the border and in the interior of the United States in some of the most challenging conditions the agency has ever faced," Bovino told Breitbart Texas.
He added that watching agents "giving it their all in some of the most dangerous of environments we have ever faced was humbling."
USA TODAY reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for comment. The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to USA TODAY that Bovino "has not submitted any retirement paperwork."
