Claim 1: “former U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, the man who led the Trump administration’s paramilitary assault on Minneapolis last winter”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms Gregory Bovino was a Border Patrol commander-at-large from October 2025 to January 2026. However, there is no evidence in the provided text confirming he led a 'paramilitary assault on Minneapolis'. While a killing in Minneapolis by CBP officers is mentioned in Wikipedia, it does not link Bovino to leading a paramilitary operation.
