Former Customs and Border Patrol "commander at large" Greg Bovino has had all of his official government social media accounts shut down after he refused to turn them over to the federal government, according to a new report.
Bovino became the face of President Donald Trump's anti-immigration raids in so-called “sanctuary cities” in 2025, and built a social media presence around his self-administered “commander-at-large” title. He stepped down from his role after nationwide backlash to Trump’s immigration raids and the shooting deaths of two protesters, Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Bovino was active on social media, especially X, but also on Facebook and Instagram, which together had some 850,000 followers. After taking over as "commander at large" of the agents sent into Los Angeles to conduct immigrant raids, he began posting flash social media videos hyping up the actions of ICE and Border Patrol agents while infuriating advocates for immigrant communities and those who had been on the receiving end of DHS enforcement.
The accounts he used to promote himself and the agencies actually belonged to the Border Patrol's El Centro, California, regional office. On Thursday, the accounts were shuttered, according to a Washington Examiner report.
