Ousted Trump Border Patrol Goon Secretly Claimed to Be Native American

Newly retired Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino once claimed during a legal battle that he was Native American and considered himself part of the Cherokee tribe, despite not being registered with any tribal rolls.

Bovino, 55, whose father was the son of an Italian immigrant, grew up near his mother’s family in North Carolina and strongly identifies with his Appalachian roots, according to The New York Times.

He speaks with a drawl and calls himself a “hillbilly,” according to the Times.
