Greg Bovino
Gregory “Greg” Bovino is the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector and a high-ranking Customs and Border Protection official. On July 7, 2025, he made headlines during a live Fox News segment by refusing a direct demand from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to end a federal immigration enforcement operation at MacArthur Park. Bovino firmly stated, “The federal government does not work for Karen Bass” and declared that Border Patrol agents would remain “until that mission is accomplished”.
A career law-enforcement professional, Bovino has served in multiple leadership roles within Customs and Border Protection, typically overseeing operations in high-traffic, border-adjacent regions—most recently California’s southern coastal zone. His Fox News appearance underscored a clear tension between federal enforcement priorities and sanctuary-city authority.
