一年前，很少有美国人知道格雷戈里·博维诺的名字。如今，他已成为特朗普政府移民打击行动的代言人。
从这位“边境巡逻队总指挥官”在现场的战术到他的着装选择，一切都成为了一场无休止风暴中的焦点。
在美国多个城市的街头，博维诺——留着圆寸头、身着边境巡逻队橄榄绿制服——被发现带领巡逻队、投掷催泪弹罐并与批评者进行言语交锋。在一群联邦官员中，他常常是为数不多未戴口罩的人，因此格外显眼。
在社交媒体上，他以分享照片和电影感十足的视频著称，这些内容旨在宣传边境巡逻队特工执行任务的决心。
如今，他在明尼阿波利斯发言台和全球屏幕上的露面越来越频繁，频繁发布简报。
就在周六，明尼阿波利斯一名边境巡逻队官员开枪打死一名男子后几小时，博维诺在那里对记者表示，当面对一名“企图造成最大伤害并屠杀执法人员的武装嫌疑人”时，官员们遵循了训练规范。
批评者迅速抨击博维诺以及国土安全部官员的言论，称枪击视频没有显示该男子试图伤害任何人。
但博维诺在周日加倍为官员辩护。
“他们接受过高度训练，避免了对执法人员的特定枪击，因此我们的执法人员成功将其制服，这是正确的做法，”博维诺在接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）“国情咨文”节目采访时表示。

被要求提供证据时，博维诺表示，随着当局调查的深入，更多细节将浮出水面，并辩称该男子试图阻碍执法人员。
“很遗憾必须付出这样的后果，因为他闯入了犯罪现场。我怎么强调都不为过。是他自己做了这个决定，”博维诺说。
周日上午，边境巡逻队官员的说法遭到民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲的严厉批评。

“每个人都看到了那段视频，然而他却告诉你和美国公众，这个年轻人挥舞武器、阻碍执法人员、参与骚乱、进行攻击，但所有人都能看到这不是事实，”墨菲告诉CNN。“当你亲眼看到证据时，特朗普政府却如此轻易地撒谎，当面撒谎，这应该让美国公众感到震惊。”
博维诺如何描述其官员的战术
在多个社交媒体帖子和采访中，博维诺反复使用一个短语来描述其官员的战术。
“他称之为‘速战速决’，”CNN评论员露露·加西亚-纳瓦罗说。“行动非常迅速、极具侵略性。打破窗户、冲入、抓人。他表示采取这些战术的原因是为了不让特工处于危险之中，避免抗议活动升级。”
支持者眼中的英雄，批评者眼中的“铁腕人物”
支持政府大规模驱逐行动的人将博维诺视为英雄。但这种强硬、毫不道歉的做法也在他团队针对的城市中引发了地方领导人和抗议者的强烈批评。
几个城市的官员称，博维诺领导的执法机构采用了“令人恐惧的威权手段”，被总统用作打击民主党主导社区及其居民（公民和非公民）的工具。
“他们希望地面局势混乱，”伊利诺伊州州长JB·普里茨克在10月告诉CNN，指责博维诺和其他联邦官员故意煽动紧张局势。“他们想制造战区，以便派遣更多军队。”
包括停车场移民扫荡和砸车窗在内的“强硬手段”引发了警报，甚至在特朗普政府内部也有人表示担忧，但同时也得到了国土安全部高级官员的赞扬。
当被问及引发越来越多批评和抗议的强硬做法时，博维诺为其官员辩护：
“人们可以自由批评。他们可以事后诸葛亮。如果他们没有亲身经历执法工作，可能会在全面批评前三思。我听到了很多这样的批评，”他在10月接受CNN采访时表示。“我们的官员在所有执法行动中都依法、依道德行事。”
他领导了多个城市的高调行动
近几个月来，博维诺在全国不同城市的出现已成为移民执法强度的非正式晴雨表。
如今，博维诺频繁出现在明尼阿波利斯街头——将他所谓的“绿色铁血团队”从美国-墨西哥边境沿线的辖区调往数千英里之外。
“绿色铁血团队”在严寒和风雪中巡逻明尼阿波利斯，逮捕非法移民直至任务完成，”博维诺周五在X平台上发文称。“我们在这里，让城市恢复安全。”
博维诺的“绿色铁血团队”战术
来自北卡罗来纳州的博维诺于1996年加入边境巡逻队。他30年的职业生涯从华盛顿到新奥尔良，还在洪都拉斯和非洲有过海外派驻经历。2020年，他被任命为南加州埃尔森特罗部门的首席巡逻代理。
2023年，在众议院共和党人将其证词描述为“报复性措施”后，他曾短暂被解除指挥职务。美联社报道称，其他因素也在起作用——包括他的社交媒体存在以及一张他手持突击步枪的在线个人照片。
去年夏天，他协助策划了洛杉矶一次行动，逮捕了5000多名移民，自此开始受到公众关注。此后，50多岁的博维诺领导了芝加哥、夏洛特、新奥尔良以及现在的明尼阿波利斯的扫荡行动。
近期争议：他的外套
最近，博维诺形象的另一个方面也受到关注：他有时穿着的长款绿色风衣。
“格雷戈里·博维诺打扮得就像从eBay上买了纳粹服装一样。格雷戈里·博维诺，秘密警察，私人军队，蒙面人，人们‘消失’，完全没有正当程序，”加州州长加文·纽森最近表示，将其比作纳粹制服。
博维诺表示，这件夹克他已经穿了25年，是从边境巡逻队获得的。
“我作为一名年轻特工在1999年左右购买了这件夹克，”他告诉News Nation，并指出在拜登政府期间的一次仪式上他也穿着这件夹克拍照。
他在社交媒体上写道，这次采访“澄清了任何误解，并突出了双重标准现象”。
社交媒体上的“透明”宣传
博维诺的社交媒体账号发布的精心制作的视频和帖子也引发批评。他表示，这些帖子旨在提高透明度。
“这不是带有议程的。我们的社交媒体旨在向公众实时展示实际发生的情况，”他在10月告诉CNN。
在最近的一条帖子中，博维诺分享了他在新闻发布会上回应一名记者提问的视频，该记者询问联邦执法人员在明尼阿波利斯的增兵何时结束。
“你希望逮捕多少人后才决定缓解增兵力度？”记者问道。
“有一个数字，”博维诺回答，“就是所有非法移民。”
无论接下来发生什么，博维诺——以及他的风衣——无疑将继续出现在美国街头。

How Gregory Bovino became the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown

A year ago, few Americans knew Gregory Bovino’s name. Now he’s the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
And everything from the Border Patrol commander-at-large’s tactics in the field to his wardrobe choices have become lightning rods in a storm with no end in sight.
On the streets of multiple American cities, Bovino – sporting a buzzcut and the Border Patrol’s olive green uniform – has been spotted leading patrols, hurling tear gas canisters and verbally sparring with critics. He often stands out among groups of federal officers as one of the few people not wearing a mask.
On social media, he’s known for sharing photos and cinematic videos that tout Border Patrol agents’ determination to carry out their mission.
And now, his presence at the podium and on screens around the world is becoming more common as he delivers briefings from Minneapolis.
That’s where Bovino stood hours after a Border Patrol officer shot and killed a man in that city Saturday, telling reporters that officers had followed their training when faced with an armed suspect who “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
Critics quickly slammed Bovino’s statement and others from Homeland Security officials, arguing that videos of the shooting show no evidence the man was trying to harm anyone.
But Bovino doubled down on his defense of officers Sunday.
“The fact that they’re highly trained prevented any specific shootings of law enforcement, so good job for our law enforcement in taking him down before he was able to do that,” Bovino told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Pressed to provide evidence, Bovino said more details would emerge as authorities investigate and argued that the man was trying to impede officers.
“It’s too bad the consequences had to be paid because he injected himself into that crime scene. I can’t say that enough. He made the decision to go there,” Bovino said.
The Border Patrol official’s account drew sharp criticism Sunday morning from Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy.

“Everybody saw that video, and yet there he was telling you and telling the American public that this young man was brandishing a weapon, that he was impeding officers, that he was there to attend a riot, that he was engaged in assault, when everyone can see that that’s not true,” Murphy told CNN. “It should freak the American public out that the Trump administration lies this easily, will lie to your face when you can see the evidence for yourself.”
Bovino is no stranger to criticisms of his approach. For months in interviews, court testimony and social media posts, he’s repeatedly defended federal officers’ actions and vowed not to back down.
How Bovino describes his officers’ tactics
In multiple social media posts and interviews, Bovino has repeatedly used a phrase to describe his officers’ tactics.
“He calls them ‘turn and burn,’” CNN contributor Lulu Garcia-Navarro says. “They’re very rapid. They’re very aggressive. Break windows, go in, grab people. And the reason he says that he does these tactics is to not put …agents at risk, not to allow protests to develop.”

Supporters of the administration’s aggressive mass deportation push see Bovino as a hero. But the forceful, unapologetic approach that’s fueled his recent rise to prominence has also drawn fierce criticism from local leaders and protesters in cities his team is targeting.
Officials in several cities have described Bovino as leading a law enforcement agency which deploys tactics that are frighteningly authoritarian and used by the president as a cudgel against Democrat-led communities and the people — citizens and noncitizens alike — who live in them.
“They want mayhem on the ground,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker told CNN in October, accusing Bovino and other federal officials of deliberately inflaming tensions. “They want to create the war zone, so that they can send in even more troops.”

[Heavy-handed tactics], including immigration sweeps in parking lots and smashing car windows, have fueled alarm, including among some in the Trump administration, while also garnering praise from senior Homeland Security officials.
Asked about the aggressive approach that has spurred growing criticism and protests, Bovino has defended his officers.
“You know, folks are free to criticize. They’re free to armchair quarterback. When they don’t walk a mile in the shoes of law enforcement, then they might want to think a second before full-blown criticism. I’ve heard a lot of that,” he told CNN in October. “Our officers act legally, ethically and morally in all law enforcement actions.”
On Sunday, Murphy said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the latest shooting in Minneapolis should spur lawmakers to press for reforms within the Department of Homeland Security before approving its budget.
“People being killed simply for exercising their First Amendment rights is going to be a regular feature in this country. That is dystopian. We shouldn’t allow for it, and that should unite Republicans and Democrats in Congress, because it’s increasingly uniting Republicans and Democrats all around the country who are turning against this just unbelievably lawless way that Bovino and his team are operating in our cities,” he said.

He’s led high-profile operations in several cities
Bovino’s presence in different cities across the country in recent months has become an unofficial barometer of how intense immigration enforcement is expected to get.
These days, Bovino is a frequent sight on the streets of Minneapolis – bringing what he calls the “Mean Green Team” thousands of miles from the sector along the US-Mexico border where he was stationed before.

“The [#MeanGreen] is patrolling Minneapolis through the cold, through the snow, and through it all arresting illegal aliens until the mission is accomplished,” Bovino posted Friday on X. “We’re here and we’re making the city safe.”
Originally from North Carolina, Bovino joined the Border Patrol in 1996. His 30-year career has taken him from Washington to New Orleans as well as foreign postings in Honduras and Africa. In 2020 he was named Chief Patrol Agent of the El Centro Sector of Southern California.
In 2023, Bovino was briefly relieved of command from his position in what House Republicans described as a retaliatory measure after he testified critically about conditions along the border under President Joe Biden’s administration. The Associated Press reported other factors were also at play – including his social-media presence and an online profile picture of him posing with an assault rifle.
He began drawing public attention last summer, when he helped orchestrate the arrests of more than 5,000 immigrants in a Los Angeles operation. Since then, Bovino – who’s in his mid-fifties – has led sweeps in Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans and, now, Minneapolis.

Bovino’s conduct during the Chicago operation drew stern rebukes from a federal judge, who ruled that his descriptions of events weren’t supported by video evidence.
In one video, cited in a federal court case alleging excessive force against protesters in Chicago, the judge ruled that Bovino “obviously tackles” a protester on camera. But in his deposition, Bovino denied he tackled the man. “I’m imploring (him)…to comply with leaving the area to comply with instructions,” Bovino said, adding, “the use of force was against me.”
One recent target of Bovino’s critics: his coat
Lately, another aspect of Bovino’s image is also drawing attention: the long green trench coach he sometimes wears.

“Greg Bovino dressed up as if he literally went on eBay and purchased SS garb. Greg Bovino, secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing quite literally, no due process,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said recently, drawing a comparison to Nazi uniforms.
Bovino says he’s had the jacket for more than 25 years, and got it from the Border Patrol.
“I bought that as a young agent, approximately 1999,” he told News Nation, noting that he was also photographed wearing it for a ceremony during the Biden administration.
That interview, Bovino wrote on social media, “cleared up any misconceptions and highlighted the double standard phenomenon.”
Whatever happens next, there’s little doubt we’ll be seeing more of Bovino – and his coat – on America’s streets.
Slickly produced videos and other social media posts from Bovino’s accounts have also drawn criticism. He says the posts are aimed at increasing transparency.
“This is not agenda-driven. Our social media is designed to give the public … a real-time snapshot of what is really happening,” Bovino told CNN in October.
Among his recent posts, Bovino shared a video clip of his response during a press briefing to a reporter who asked when the surge of federal law enforcement into Minneapolis will end.
“Is there a certain number of people you want to apprehend before you decide to ease the surge?” the reporter asked.
“There is a number,” Bovino said, “and it’s called all of them.”
