Greg Bovino, a former U.S. Border Patrol commissioner-at-large, on Friday voiced his support for immigration enforcement officers amid clashes between federal agents and protesters outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey.
Bovino encouraged ICE agents to “give them hell and live the moment,” according to a social media post. The message came amid ongoing tensions at the facility, which has faced criticism over allegations of violence and mistreatment.
The protests and clashes drew attention to the detention center, which has been the focus of scrutiny from advocacy groups and local officials. Bovino’s comments have sparked discussions about the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and detention policies.
