Gregory Bovino, the former leader of Customs and Border Protection, expressed his frustration after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin dismissed his criticisms of the department's management as 'irrelevant.' During an interview on Newsmax, Bovino stated that Mullin is aware of him despite claiming otherwise. He reiterated his strong stance on immigration, saying, 'I'm for the American people.
