Bovino joined the Border Patrol in the late 1990s, most recently leading the immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans and Minneapolis under the Trump administration.

The Department of Homeland Security described Operation Metro Surge as the largest interior mobilization of agents for immigration enforcement in the agency's history. Local Minnesota authorities later launched an investigation into the operation.

Bovino was under investigation by the CBP professional responsibility office over reports he mocked a federal prosecutor's Jewish faith, though a DHS spokeswoman dismissed the original report as gossip.

Bovino said the "greatest honor of [his] entire life" was to work at both the border and the interior of the country "in some of the most challenging conditions the agency has ever faced." On the other side, some Democrats, such as Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, suggested Bovino will "be held accountable" post-retirement.

Bovino's 30-year career stands as a testament to what real border enforcement looks like: leading the largest interior immigration operations in agency history across Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis. Sanctuary city politicians threw every obstacle possible at these operations, yet agents still made thousands of arrests of criminal aliens and gang members. Bovino leaves with his head held high — his record speaks for itself.

Bovino's tenure left two U.S. citizens dead, a court record of lying about excessive force and a trail of racial profiling complaints across every city where operations ran. Minnesota authorities are now launching a formal investigation into Operation Metro Surge, meaning retirement won't shield Bovino from accountability. Walking away with a pension doesn't erase the damage done to communities across the country.

There's a 50% chance that the U.S. will remove an average of at least 406,000 noncitizens from the country from 2026-2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
