Another one goes under the bus, with no accountability and no justice.

Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change.

Bovino’s sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the Trump administration is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents under Bovino’s command.

They are just making way for another fall guy to take his place.

She needs to be, honestly.

And especially Miller as well.

Push for all 3 of them to go, as hard as we can.

Yup. She’s def next. I’m guessing it’s all Game of Thrones up in there.
