Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

"We have recently seen ICE agents dressing like soldiers, maneuvering like assault teams, and engaging civilians as if they are hostile forces....this is not policing and it is not military service. It is something dangerously undefined."
Honor Pretti and Good. End the Occupation.

A new video angle shows Alex Pretti and federal agents leading up to his fatal shooting. An agent sprays and shoves Pretti, who is then tackled to the ground before gunshots ring out. This video is graphic in nature, and the footage does not linger too long on the scene after the moment of death.
