  "account": "Former Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino was under investigation when he retired, according to records obtained by CBS News. The investigation was initiated due to concerns over his testimony in federal court and past alleged antisemitic comments. Bovino was a prominent figure in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in various major cities, including Minneapolis. He was relieved of his role as \"commander-at-large\" in late January following the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis and the subsequent political backlash. CBP informed Bovino on March 2 that it was conducting an official inquiry into allegations of misconduct. Bovino voluntarily retired from CBP just 16 days later. While CBP is not authorized to provide security for retired personnel, it could potentially impact Bovino's future employment prospects. The CBP investigation examined Bovino's credibility and whether his testimony and comments violated the CBP Board of Conduct, which prohibits abusive, derisive, profane, or harassing statements.",
  "summary": "CBP informed Gregory Bovino in an email on March 2 that the agency was \"conducting an official Inquiry into allegations of misconduct reported to CBP.\" He initiated retirement 16 days later.",
