A day after Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino was seen in Minneapolis streets, he is calling out local police for not helping federal agents deal with protesters.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol held a news conference on Thursday, updating the public on their immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota.

Bovino spoke out with ICE Executive Assistant Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations Marcos Charles.

“Where was Mayor Frey? Or Governor Walz? I didn’t see him around anywhere,” said Bovino.

The two spoke at a podium inside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, alongside Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The building holds the region’s federal immigration court. 

They showed those on screens they’ve detained, who they say are the “worst of the worst,” and asked for Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and everyone in between to help them.

“We’re all on the same team and our cooperation will help save lives,” said Charles. “The people we’ve arrested here are not ones you’d want living next door to your families, children, parents or best friends.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says, as of Thursday, it has now arrested over 3,300 people since Operation Metro Surge began. Those are numbers WCCO hasn’t been able to verify.

When WCCO asked if they have updated numbers on the number of agents in the state, Bovino said he would not give an exact number, “but several thousand.”

Charles added that protesters across the state are trying to defend those who’ve committed crimes. 

Bovino also criticized the Minneapolis Police Department for not helping during Wednesday’s protest. When asked if they called for help, he only mentioned they did at some point.

“Minneapolis Police Department’s been called on several situations that they have not responded,” Bovino said.

In response to Bovino’s claims, the Minneapolis Police Department said it “receives and processes numerous 911 reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity throughout the city each day,” but it has “no record of a request from federal agents for assistance” on Wednesday.

“The presence of protestors alone is not sufficient reason for MPD to respond where ICE activity is occurring,” a spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department said.

Minneapolis police on Wednesday did, however, recover a magazine loaded with ammunition that had been left on a sidewalk by a federal agent, according to the department.

When asked about the end in sight, Bovino said, “This mission’s ongoing until there’s no more of those criminal illegal aliens roaming the streets of Minneapolis.”

On Thursday, ICE said in a release its officers and agents rank among the world’s most skilled and experienced.

Federal authorities are reportedly probing the death of former Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay and the doctor who provided him with prescription pain medication and ketamine before he died last spring.

The FBI issued federal grand jury subpoenas earlier this month for records tied to Isray’s death, his alleged substance use with illegal and prescription drugs, and his relationship with Dr. Harry Haroutunian, a California-based addiction specialist, the Washington Post reported, citing court documents.

Investigators also spent several days in Indianapolis, according to two people close to the investigation.

“I do understand that there have been some subpoenas provided, but not to me, the Colts or any of our current employees,” Colts Chief Legal Officer Dan Emerson told the outlet, declining to comment further.

Isray, who became the Colts’ owner in 1997, died in May at age 65.

The NFL honcho, who had long been candid about his battle with substance abuse, had “spent the last two years of his life” privately grappling with a relapse that he and team execs shielded from the public, the outlet reported in August.

Isray was reportedly receiving treatment from Haroutunian, who allegedly prescribed him ketamine injections and a stockpile of opioid pills in the years leading up to his death.

“I dedicated 18 months of my life to try to care for him … as a brother,” Haroutunian told the outlet in a brief interview last summer.

“We did everything we could to make him as comfortable as possible.”

Haroutunian did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. 

The private doctor allegedly prescribed over 200 opioid pills before Isray overdosed on two separate occasions in December 2023 — once at his Indianapolis home and another at a rental home in Miami.

Those close to Irsay had relayed concerns over the treatment he was receiving from the recovery specialist, who was residing at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Irsay died.

Isray’s death certificate — signed by Haroutunian — said the exec reportedly died of cardiac arrest caused by pneumonia and heart issues, though no autopsy or toxicology tests were ever performed.

The Beverly Hills Police Department closed its investigation into Isray’s death just days later.
