CHICAGO (AP) — Senior Border Patrol official Greg Bovino has returned to the Chicago area, about a month after leaving to lead immigration crackdowns in other cities. Bovino initially arrived in the Chicago area in September amid Operation Midway Blitz, which netted thousands of arrests and fueled fear among immigrant communities. The operation has become known for its aggressive tactics. As the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, Bovino was photographed Tuesday in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood as activists blew whistles and shouted. Before, when Bovino left Chicago in November, immigration operations continued but were noticeably subdued with fewer tense confrontations.
