@sacramentourbanmedia916: Former Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino stirred controversy Monday after responding to reports that he may be exploring a 2028 presidential bid by doubling down on his support for mass deportations. In a post on X, Bovino dismissed speculation about his political future and said his primary focus remains removing what he claimed are 106 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. The figure far exceeds most government and independent estimates of the immigrant population. Bovino’s comments came after reports surfaced that he had launched an exploratory effort to gauge support for a possible White House campaign. He suggested he would consider a presidential run if it became necessary to advance his immigration agenda. The former federal official also claimed that overwhelming public support exists for large-scale deportation efforts, though polling data has shown Americans remain divided on the issue. Since leaving government service earlier this year, Bovino has repeatedly criticized the administration’s immigration strategy, arguing officials have not gone far enough in carrying out deportations. He has also accused current border leadership of focusing too heavily on political messaging rather than enforcement. Bovino became a nationally recognized figure during aggressive immigration operations that drew both praise and criticism. Opponents accused him of endorsing heavy-handed tactics and targeting Hispanic communities, allegations he denied. His remarks have renewed debate over immigration policy as he continues to position himself as one of the country’s most outspoken advocates for expanded deportation efforts.#fyp #viral
