U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino has gone viral after releasing a new video to social media on Tuesday.
The video depicts Border Patrol agents arriving in Chicago under orders from the Trump administration to “take care of business” and the detainment of numerous presumed illegal aliens.
If you think we’re done with Chicago, you’d better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Bovino is then shown confronting Daniel Biss, mayor of Evanston, Illinois, saying “I’m gonna be here and continue operating in your town — I’m sorry, the taxpayers’ town, not your town. That’s what’s going to happen. That will happen.”
“I will say this once more: You. Are. Not. Welcome. Here,” Biss said. “Check yourself,” Bovino replied.
Further video of the interaction was shown in a post from another user on X.
“The racism is unacceptable and the violence is unacceptable,” Biss told Bovino. “Yeah, it is,” Bovino responded. “That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re in your community, because you refuse to do what we’re doing.”
“That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re here in your community, because you refuse to do what we are doing.

Bovino had more to say regarding Biss on social media after the video went viral. “This clown was a real winner, lol,” Bovino said. “He chooses illegal aliens over U.S. citizens.”
Nick, this clown was a real winner, lol. He chooses illegal aliens over US citizens.

As leftists raged in the comments of the video, Bovino responded to them too.
Not what the residents of Chicago say

For illegals who are hoping that operations in Chicago will soon cease, Bovino has a message: “If you think we’re done with Chicago, you’d better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Don’t call it a comeback; we’re gonna be here for years.”
Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
