Chief Gregory Bovino says their use of less-lethal munitions keeps everyone safe

EXCLUSIVE “Let’s think about how we are gonna add tools to the tool bag instead of take tools away that keep people safe…” - Chief Gregory Bovino says their use of less-lethal munitions keeps everyone safe.

This after a judge threatened to take the option of using tear gas away from federal agents and officers.

Chief Bovino says Tuesday was the “single most violent day” in his career with Border Patrol saying that after they left the courthouse they went to an area where Latin King gang members are known to frequent. He says they were closed in on by around 70 vehicles trying to ram agents and impede enforcement operations.

He says they arrested a suspected Latin King member during the op.

Remember: The Latin Kings put a hit out on Bovino, he says his response is to go after them even harder.
