the first scapegoat.
I kinda suspect that the administration was told or it was heavily suggested by higher ups in the military that "yeah...if you go with this insurrection act we're not going to have your backs on this one." Otherwise why would they be throwing Bovino under the bus for this?
What has happened thus far is apparently what they wanted according to project 25 but like I said I suspect they don't have the support of the people they NEED the support from.
It would be nothing short of miraculous if that plan falls through just because it became wildly unpopular. This brings two things to mind:
-
It would explain why there's a phased rollout of worse and worse policy with a lot of improv along the way. Otherwise, all this shit would "just happen" inside the first year.
-
It's not hard to imagine these asswipes acting in a retaliatory manner for not getting their way. But what's worse is to imagine a failing MAGA or P2025 cabal "going for broke" if it appears they're all but finished, should we get there. IMO, we should all be prepared for both.
I think minnesota could probably get him on some form of Dereliction of Duty/RICO and throw in felony murder.
The way responsibility has been diffused throughout the command structure is exactly what RICO is for. That said, I don't think it's ever been used on a Federal agency before.
Accessory after the fact. Grab his ass in a blue state, send him back to mn, in an unmarked car.
Give that motherfucker a 'rough ride' and see how he feels about it. This is great news.
In the trunk, preferably.

The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.
Finally, some accountability. Can’t imagine a worse punishment than being sent to El Centro.
Back to making shitty cookies in a tree with Jeff Sessions.
Get fucked
Should be sent directly to The Hague, do not pass Go.
He barely had time for one photo op though. Gestapo Greg was looking forward to lowering the bar even more so he can reach it.
Token changes to mollify people. Don’t slow down.
This is the first time in a while this admin has thrown a scapegoat out instead of just puffing up their chest and saying “nah”.
It’s not much but it shows the pressure IS working. Keep going.
100%. This is the beginning. We will NEVER forget.
It's afraid
yeahhhh. watch the movie again, the aliens were not the bad guys.
True. Just the meme goes like that. But I should probably watch it again anyway. I think I saw it 10+ years ago.
Ironically, NPH is the Nazi in that movie. They even wear the same coat.
The symbolism in the movie is apparently in contrast to the book, which glorified war and the human side. The director decided to take it another direction and it was a fucking great decision
Sadly, most viewers (at least, the most vocal ones here in America) really don't understand that movie and end up glorifying the humans by the end. Media literacy is something we need to teach better
I genuinely had no idea how people could misunderstand the movie, until I met such people. It is weird.

More likely he's the sacrifice they hope will get the engaged masses to focus on so they can continue unchanged.
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
So he gets a nice comfy retirement
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.
Lol. No.
I mean, aren't they? It's not like they've suddenly decided these tactics are morally wrong or anything, because that would imply they have morals. Rather, they see the rest of the GOP starting to turn on them as a result of these murders in Minneapolis, and so they're responding to the only thing they actually understand—the potential loss of power.
He's getting fired because he flubbed the PR. Their lies were too audacious and too easily disproven to be fully accepted at desired numbers within their base. Steven Miller is reportedly one of his main detractors.

To be replaced by someone just as bad I'm sure.
I hope he retires and tries to live out in the general public. Lets see him try to go to the grocery store or eat in a restaurant. At minimum he'll have spit in all his food for the rest of his dumbass life, assuming he doesnt end up in prison for his civil rights crimes under color of law.
Good. Now try him for his crimes.
I sure hope they don't let these characters just slink off into the shadows, never to face any consequences whatsoever.
That's why you carve a Swastika on the their foreheads.
Nice comfy retirement for him now.
Not when the lawyers are done.
peak of his career really did turn out to be prancing around at a few gas stations in an ugly coat trying to look tough.
time for more local organizing while they try a new tactic.
Then I heard him on TV, trying to sound tough with a voice like a cartoon character. These guys really have a weird vision of who is cool or scary. Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller thinks he sounds tough, and he always sounds like a screeching weenie. I guess this is what a tough guy looks like to him.
Governor Tim Walz—whom the White House has blamed for inciting violence—and the two men are now on “a similar wavelength.”
Once again, he just goes along with whomever he spoke with last
