However, plans could change given the evolving situation on the ground, according to the same sources.
This does not mean that operations have ended in the state.
As of Monday, the commander remains in the city, and operations continue in various locations throughout the state.
The anticipated departure comes amid heightened scrutiny and public tension surrounding recent federal immigration enforcement actions in the Twin Cities. Bovino has been a central figure in coordinating Border Patrol and other federal operations in the area, which have sparked protests and drawn criticism from local officials and community leaders.
It remains unclear whether Bovino’s exit is temporary or permanent, or whether it is connected to ongoing investigations and political pressure following recent incidents involving federal agents. Neither U.S. Customs and Border Protection nor the Department of Homeland Security has issued an official statement confirming the move.
Minnesota officials have repeatedly called for greater transparency and limits on federal immigration enforcement within the state, particularly after a series of controversial operations in Minneapolis.
More details are expected as authorities clarify the circumstances surrounding Bovino’s departure.
