Gregory Bovino, a U.S. Border Patrol official who led immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, announced his retirement effective at the end of March, according to multiple sources.

Bovino was demoted from his leadership position in late January amid controversy surrounding the immigration enforcement operations he oversaw. He announced his retirement decision in an interview with Breitbart on Monday.

During his tenure, Bovino served as a prominent figure in implementing the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies in multiple U.S. cities, including Minneapolis. His role involved overseeing what officials described as aggressive enforcement operations targeting undocumented immigrants.

The announcement comes weeks after two fatal shootings involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January. The incidents involved the deaths of two U.S. citizens, 37-year-old Alex Pretti and Renee Good, in separate cases.

Bovino's enforcement operations drew significant public attention and controversy during his time leading the Minneapolis efforts. His demotion in January removed him from his position as the public face of the local immigration enforcement campaign.

The retirement will conclude Bovino's career in federal immigration enforcement, ending his role in what became one of the more contentious aspects of recent immigration policy implementation.
