即将退休的边境巡逻队主管博维诺称自己遗憾”未能抓获更多非法移民”


2026年3月25日 美国东部时间上午6:00 / 福克斯新闻

即将退休的边境巡逻队主管格雷格·博维诺在最近的一次采访中透露,他在国土安全部任职期间为数不多的遗憾之一是未能抓获更多非法移民。

博维诺因过去一年在几次备受瞩目的移民执法行动中的领导工作而引发全国争议,目前正处于离职状态。他在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示,他并不后悔自己采取的激进一线领导方式,但补充道:”我希望能抓获更多非法移民。”

本周满57岁的博维诺自20世纪90年代起就在美国边境巡逻队服役,预计将于本月底退休。

在担任边境巡逻队”首席指挥官”期间,博维诺成为唐纳德·特朗普总统在明尼阿波利斯、芝加哥和洛杉矶等城市驱逐行动的代表人物。他经常受到主流媒体和民主党政客的批评,加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森指责他模仿纳粹秘密警察。

尽管如此,博维诺告诉媒体:”我们尽了最大努力,但总会有更具创造性和创新性的方案来抓获更多非法移民。”

据媒体报道,博维诺吹嘘自己执法策略的有效性,包括在街头寻找非法移民、公开询问他们并逮捕试图干扰行动的人。

就像他在内陆地区的领导风格一样,博维诺表示,作为加利福尼亚州和亚利桑那州埃尔森特罗地区的边境巡逻队负责人,他的目标是”控制整个边境”,而不仅仅是”管控”它。”我们想要完全控制边境,”博维诺告诉《纽约时报》。

“当你使用’控制’这类术语时,可能会吓到一些意志薄弱的人。我希望你能’掌控’边境,而不是仅仅’管控’它。我们要彻底’统治’那个该死的地方,”博维诺说道。

他批评几位前上级是”墨守成规”的官僚,阻碍了他和他的团队。据媒体报道,他还批评了接替他领导明尼苏达行动的边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼。他嘲笑霍曼涉嫌受贿,称:”你不会看到我为了一袋钱和任何人交谈。”

司法部调查了这起涉嫌贿赂事件,但未发现任何可信的不当行为证据。霍曼此前曾告诉福克斯新闻主持人劳拉·英格拉汉姆:”我没有做任何犯罪或非法的事情。”

尽管存在这些批评,博维诺仍称赞特朗普是他任职期间最有效的总统。他表示,边境巡逻队”从特朗普那里获得了很多赞誉”。他还称赞现任国土安全部前部长克里斯蒂·诺姆是”我共事过的最好的部长,没有之一”。

对于博维诺的言论,白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊告诉福克斯新闻数字版:”汤姆·霍曼和罗德尼·斯科特是美国爱国者和职业执法官员,他们出色地执行了特朗普总统的议程,创造了美国历史上最安全的边境。”

她补充说,美国人民”因为特朗普政府的’美国优先’政策而更加安全”。

她还重申了对霍曼调查的回应,称:”这是一起公然的政治调查,没有发现任何非法活动的证据。”

杰克逊表示:”这再次证明拜登司法部将资源用于针对特朗普总统的盟友,而不是调查真正的罪犯和涌入我国的数百万非法移民。”

特朗普在回应时表示,对明尼苏达州活动人士蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂被杀害的争议达到顶峰时,他称政府对博维诺的解雇并非退缩。

“博维诺非常优秀,”特朗普告诉福克斯新闻主持人威尔·凯恩,”但他是个相当激进的人,在某些情况下这是好事,也许在这里并不合适。”

特朗普将致命冲突的责任归咎于”受雇的叛乱分子”和”煽动者”,而不是博维诺或联邦官员,认为这些人在特工试图清理犯罪非法移民的街道时造成了不安全的操作环境。

Retiring Border Patrol Chief Bovino says he wishes he ‘caught even more’ illegals

March 25, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News

Retiring Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino revealed one of his few regrets from his time in Homeland Security is that he did not arrest more illegal aliens, according to a recent interview.

Bovino, who is retiring amid national controversy over his leadership in several high-profile immigration enforcement operations over the past year, told The New York Times he does not regret his aggressive, frontline leadership. He added, “I wish I’d caught even more illegal aliens.”

Turning 57 this week, Bovino has served in the U.S. Border Patrol since the ’90s. He is expected to retire at the end of the month.

His decision to depart the agency after three decades comes shortly after he was removed from his prominent role as Border Patrol “commander at large.” As commander, Bovino became the face of President Donald Trump’s deportation operations in cities including Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles. He was regularly criticized by the mainstream media and Democratic politicians, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom accusing him of emulating Nazi secret police.

Despite this, Bovino told the outlet, “We went as hard as we could, but there’s always a creative and innovative solution to catching even more.”

According to the outlet, Bovino touted the effectiveness of his enforcement tactics, including seeking out illegal aliens on the streets, questioning them openly and arresting those who attempt to interfere with operations.

Much like his leadership style in the interior, Bovino said that as Border Patrol chief of the El Centro Sector in California and Arizona, his goal was to “dominate” the border, not just control it. “We wanted total border domination,” Bovino told The New York Times.

“When you use terms like that, perhaps it scares some of the weaker-minded people. Domination. I want you to dominate that border. I’m not going to ‘control’ it. We’re going to dominate the hell out of that damn place,” Bovino said.

He criticized several of his former superiors as “status quo” bureaucrats holding him and his team back. According to the outlet, he also criticized border czar Tom Homan, who replaced him as leader of the Minnesota operation. He ribbed Homan over an alleged bribe, saying, “You’re not going to see me talking to anyone for a bag of money.”

The Department of Justice investigated the alleged bribe and found no credible evidence of wrongdoing. Homan has previously told Fox News host Laura Ingraham, “I did nothing criminal. I did nothing illegal.”

Despite these critiques, Bovino hailed Trump as the most effective president he served under. He said Border Patrol “got a lot of kudos from the Trumpster.” He also lauded now former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as the “best secretary I’ve ever worked for, bar none.”

In response to Bovino’s comments, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital that “Tom Homan and Rodney Scott are American patriots and career law enforcement officials” and that “they have done an excellent job implementing President Trump’s agenda which has resulted in the most secure border in American history.”

She added that the American people “are safer because of the Trump Administration’s America First policies.”

She also reiterated her previous statement following the investigation into Homan, in which she said: “This was a blatantly political investigation which found no evidence of illegal activity.”

“It was yet another example of the Biden DOJ using its resources to target President Trump’s allies rather than investigate real criminals and the millions of illegal aliens who flooded our country,” said Jackson.

For his part, even amid the height of the controversy over the killings of Minnesota activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Trump said the administration’s removal of Bovino was not a pullback.

“Bovino is very good,” Trump told Fox News host Will Cain. “But he’s a pretty out there kind of a guy, and in some cases, that’s good; maybe it wasn’t good here.”

Rather than place the blame for the fatal confrontations on Bovino or federal officers, Trump blamed “paid insurrectionists” and “agitators” for the unsafe operational environment as agents attempted to clear the streets of criminal illegal aliens.
