The US Border Patrol commander famed for reveling in aggressive, televised immigration crackdowns, and some federal agents were expected to leave Minneapolis on Tuesday as the White House sought to stem fallout over the second fatal shooting of a protester in a month.
The imminent exit of Gregory Bovino, known for his military-style outfits and phalanxes of masked agents, was reported by US media as President Donald Trump's new envoy Tom Homan was due to meet Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
