Border Patrol issues message to Gov. Newsom after LA raid 'tantrum'

CBP El Centro Chief Patrol Agent Greg Bovino joins ‘America’s Newsroom’ to address Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claims that agents targeted a site outside his rally in Los Angeles for an ICE raid.

A top Customs and Border Protection official is pushing back against California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s allegations that federal agents staged an immigration raid to coincide with his rally in Los Angeles. 

CBP El Centro Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino dismissed Newsom’s comments as a political "tantrum."

"Does the governor or Mayor Bass, when they have these meltdowns, these tantrums like that, do they want those individuals walking the streets," Bovino wondered Friday on "America’s Newsroom." 

"Where's the outrage [when] there are Tren de Aragua members walking with impunity on the streets of Los Angeles, or child rapists, or a whole litany of other bad people and bad things, bad criminals walking the streets of Los Angeles?"

Federal agents conducted immigration enforcement operations across the city Thursday while Newsom held a press conference outlining the state’s plan to redraw congressional maps. 

During his remarks, the governor shifted to discussing the Trump administration’s deportation agenda, and claimed dozens of agents were positioned just outside the event. 

"Do you think it's coincidental?" Newsom asked the crowd.

"Donald Trump and his minions, Tom Homan, tough guy, decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location to advance ICE arrests. Indiscriminate? Perhaps. We'll find out later."

Bovino and other officials, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, insisted the raids had nothing to do with the governor’s public appearance.
