is "cosplaying". But what distinguishes Bovino from many of the others in the administration, is that he actually worked for the feds as a west TX (El Paso) border patrol agent after leaving NC. But I think coming from a "broken home" like he did, and probably being exposed to and engaging in the suspect tactics deployed in TX over the years at the border, he has gone full gestapo, or better (since his great-grandparents fled Italy in the early 20th century), full "blackshirt".
