Chairmen of House Oversight and Homeland Security Committees Demand Answers From Border Patrol Chief After Witness is Retaliated Against
By Debra Heine
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials retaliated against a CBP agent just hours after he concluded a voluntary transcribed interview with the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability and Homeland Security, according to a “credible whistleblower” familiar with CBP personnel practices.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) announced on Friday that they have sent a letter to Acting CBP Commissioner Troy A. Miller demanding “a briefing and all documents and communications relevant to any reassignment and the reasons for any related employment action regarding Gregory K. Bovino, Chief Patrol Agent of the El Centro Border Patrol Sector.”
