Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

I fear for the residents of the next big Dem city he is going to.

1. Not at all

And we need to see some skepticism from the media. CNN is buying this BS hook, line, and sinker of course.

[Irish_Dem]

2. ICE accomplished their mission.

Killed, kidnapped, injured, terrorized people.
Lost the local economy a great deal of money.

They are happy and a message was sent to all liberal cities.

[themaguffin]

6. This wasn't part of their plan though. Yeah, they did horrific damage & will continue. But this also

is a loss for them - for what it's worth - as this wasn't planned. They didn't expect such blowback.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Trump and his nazis army don't care about the blowback.

Trump loves it that he made people frightened and angry.
He is a sadist, he gets off on it.

He is a typical psychopath. He will now move on to his next victim.

[themaguffin]

13. yes and no. blowback/fallout absolutely is why that asshole was moved out.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yes the psychopath serial killer moves on when the heat is on.

But he will find new victims.
They always do.

[themaguffin]

19. Yes, but the departure is a blow to them.

[Irish_Dem]

21. To his staff yes. But perhaps not to Trump who is an opportunistic predator.

He goes in and assaults, rapes, kills when the opportunity is there or someone tells him to do it.
But it doesn't matter to him who he assaults.
All victims are the same.

But I think it will hurt his lackeys and they will see it as defeat.

8. No, they did not. Their intent was to crush us and make the state give in

to their demands for changes in state law regarding protections for immigrants and others, and giving them our voter records so they could meddle with our elections. They did not succeed.

[Kaleva]

22. Bovino is a member of Border Patrol. Not ICE.

[DBoon]

3. like what the catholic church did with pedophile preists

moved them around and tried to cover up their crimes.

[Blue Owl]

9. Precisely

[Initech]

4. No, he needs to be sent straight to prison.

Fuck these MAGA turds and I hope they enjoy prison.

[fujiyamasan]

5. It's like the Catholic Church moving pedophile priests around

They learned from the best! Of course they’re also pedophiles themselves…

[walkingman]

7. You nailed it!

[Irish_Dem]

12. Exactly. Trump will find new victims to kill and terrorize.

[themaguffin]

14. that was done quietly.

[fujiyamasan]

15. Good point

These ass holes don’t even care about the optics.

They’re proud of all of the destruction. That’s why I don’t think it’s a distraction to Epstein. They’re fine with that too.

[themaguffin]

16. they don't care, but he's gone because of the blowback. Whether they care doesn't change that it's humiliating for them

[Blue Owl]

10. This guy's a lying public menace

[Takket]

17. +1

just saw this post on bluesky which articulates my feelings about this better than I could....... this is being done to get protestors and the media to back off, but no one should be naive enough to think that the brutality and terrorism of ICE is going to stop.......

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.

It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

— Nicole Bedera (@nbedera.bsky.social) 2026-01-26T23:37:04.834Z

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.

And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

20. If the Atlantic's reporting is correct, he just got "demoted into retirement"... aka fired.

This was posted elsewhere on DU, its paywalled but the important bit is freely readable...
