Ex-border patrol chief defends his record after exit: ‘I wish I’d caught more illegal aliens’

Greg Bovino says Trump's immigration crackdown hasn't gone far enough in exit interview with the New York Times

As his retirement looms, Gregory Bovino, the US border patrol's former commander-at-large, has contended that efforts to curb illegal immigration by Donald Trump's administration have not gone far enough - showing no remorse over federal agents' killings of two US citizens in Minneapolis in January.

I wish I'd caught even more illegal aliens," he told the New York Times on Tuesday in an exit interview, during which he also referred to the Republican president as the Trumpster" and acknowledged his retirement at the end of March was not entirely voluntary.
