Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Border Patrol and ICE were agencies “that nobody respects,” drawing sharp criticism from former Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino and others. The article frames the remarks as an attack on immigration enforcement.
During a Senate debate on Department of Homeland Security funding, Schumer criticized a proposed $140 billion for the agency and said that Border Patrol and ICE were groups “that nobody respects in this country.” President Donald Trump demanded an apology, and former Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino accused Schumer of aligning with people who oppose federal agents.
Bovino said the remark could encourage attacks on agents and described opposition to law enforcement he said he had encountered during his career. The National Border Patrol Council also condemned Schumer’s comments. The article includes a response from the Department of Homeland Security praising ICE and CBP agents, but does not include a response from Schumer.
