The National Police Association has officially endorsed the Border Patrol Overtime Parity Act, aimed to enhance pay for agents across all grades. This act ensures fair compensation for their dedicated work.

Greg Bovino, a Border Patrol commander known for leading controversial immigration crackdowns in Chicago and Minneapolis, was secretly under federal investigation when he announced his retirement in March 2026. Newly released records from a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that a federal watchdog contacted Bovino on March 2 to initiate an inquiry into allegations of misconduct. The probe centered on two main issues: a federal judge's finding that Bovino lied under oath during a civil rights case and accusations he made antisemitic remarks toward a Jewish prosecutor. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis previously ruled Bovino's testimony was 'not credible,' citing evasiveness and dishonesty. Investigators questioned whether his credibility issues made him 'Giglio impaired' and if he referenced Jewish people as the 'chosen people.' Bovino denied wrongdoing, claiming the investigations were politically motivated after he left Minnesota. Post-retirement, he has criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies, spreading conspiracy theories about mass deportations and suggesting officials targeted him for his security detail.
