Former Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino suggested on Monday that he is not ruling out a 2028 presidential run.Bovino admitted as much on social media in response to a NewsNation report that says he launched a committee to explore a possible campaign for the White House.“NewsNation is reporting I’m exploring a run for President in 2028,” he said on X. “Here’s the truth: My one and only priority is deporting the 106 million illegals who are here. That’s it.”
While he claims mass deportations remain his top priority, Bovino retired from his leadership post at Customs and Border Protection at the end of March.
In the commander role, he previously led immigration crackdowns in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The former Border Patrol official’s tenure was marked by aggressive crowd-control tactics.
Less than three months after his departure from the Trump administration, Bovino is considering running for president.
“My commitment is simple, liberate America from this invasion and restore our quality of life,” he added. “If running for President is what it takes to actually get it done, then all options are on the table.”
