Minneapolis withdrawal was 'surrender', says Trump's ex-border patrol chief

Ex-border chief calls Minneapolis pull-out surrender

• The former US border patrol chief who became the public face of the highly controversial deportation drive in Minneapolis earlier this year has defended the operation, describing the withdrawal of agents from the city as a surrender by the Trump administration. • Speaking in Detroit, where he was campaigning for tougher immigration enforcement, Bovino said the administration threw the towel in and called for more deportations, which he said were now at a virtual standstill.
