California
governor calls for homeland security secretary to resign
Gavin
Newsom, the governor of California, has called for Kristi Noem to resign from
her role as homeland security secretary and for senior US border patrol
official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations
across the country, to be fired.
Noem has
said Alex Pretti “approached US border patrol officers with a 9mm
semi-automatic handgun”, a claim that is undermined by video evidence and
witness testimony. Bovino also told reporters that Pretti had approached border
patrol agents with the same gun.
In a post
on X, Newsom, a frontrunner among Democratic candidates for president in 2028,
said:
Kristi
Noem must RESIGN. Greg Bovino must be FIRED. Suspend the LAWLESS mass
deportation raids nationwide NOW – ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous
criminals. Send the border patrol back to the border. End the militarization of
ICE + the sick racial profiling.
End
the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel
agenda. Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of
training before even setting foot in the field. INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every
single federal agent who is breaking the law.
