Ousted border chief exposed for unhinged phone call that left lawyers 'deeply unsettled'

Greg Bovino, formally the face of Border Patrol and President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown before his demotion earlier this week, was exposed Saturday for making “disparaging remarks” to a Trump-nominated prosecutor over their Jewish faith, The New York Times reported.

Bovino spoke by phone on Jan. 12 with U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen, an Orthodox Jew, and lawyers from Rosen’s office about what Bovino alleged was their lack of cooperation with Border Patrol’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis.
