The U.S.

military deployed on the streets of America.

Whole communities targeted for removal.

And when accountability finally came knocking, the burn order to cover it all up.

A stain on this country, one that we said we would never repeat.

Rachel Maddow presents Burn Order.

All episodes available now.

Really happy to have you here tonight as President Donald Trump and the Trump administration bend and then break under pressure that it turns out they cannot handle.

They underestimated the people of Minnesota and the strength of feeling in this country right now in support of the people of Minneapolis.

Tonight, the Trump administration is pulling Border Patrol official Greg Bovino and some number of Border Patrol agents out of Minneapolis.

We do not know if this is the end of what they've been calling Operation Metro Surge, this sustained, very large-scale paramilitary attack on the cities of Minneapolis and St.

Paul.

We don't know if it is the end of that Operation Full Stop, but we know it's the end of something.

Our latest reporting here at MSNOW per our reporters Carol Lennig and Mark Santia is this, quote, "'According to two officials briefed on the matter, Gregory Bovino is expected to be removed from commanding the operation in Minnesota possibly as early as tomorrow,' meaning Tuesday."

There will also be a reduction of Homeland Security officers and agents in the state.

Again, that's new reporting from MSNOW.

We're also aware of new reporting in The Atlantic tonight.

And this is reporting that we have not confirmed ourselves, but I'll tell you that reporter Nick Miroff, who has an excellent reputation at The Atlantic tonight, he reports this under the headline, quote, "'Greg Bovino loses his job.'"

Quote, Greg Bravino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol commander at large and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a Homeland Security official and two people with knowledge of the change.

Bovino's sudden demotion is the clearest sign yet that the Trump administration is reconsidering its most aggressive tactics after the killing Saturday of 37-year-old Alex Preddy by Border Patrol agents under Bovino's command.
