PresidentTrump's former Border Patrol boss is starting a mutiny against theWhite Houseamid protests at a Newark,New JerseyICE facility.
Former Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino posted a selfie from an airport gate saying he is heading to Newark to personally witness the protests that have sparked there.
'@SenMullin and the rest of them have been trying to handle these riots and… well, let’s just say it’s not going great,' his post blared, calling out Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin by name.
'For those of you in the comments section, give a vote. Should I just handle this myself? Those agents’ lives are at stake due to this inaction,' Bovino's post continued.
In addition to Mullin, Bovino notably tagged White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in the post.
'While Democrats continue to put criminal illegal aliens before American citizens, President Trump and his entire team will never waver when it comes to enforcing the law,' White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement responding to Bovino's post.
The combative social media post underscores the rocky relationship the West Wing has with its former Border Patrol star who was deployed toLos Angeles,ChicagoandMinnesotato reinforce Trump's sweeping deportation orders.
Bovino left his post after two Americans were shot and killed by immigration officials in Minneapolis this January. Conflicting reports dispute whether Bovino was fired or if he left on his own accord.
