'Greg Bovino's Retirement Plan? Go Full Fascist'

(TPM) "Greg Bovino was welcomed like a celebrity at one of the world’s pre-eminent fascist confabs this past weekend. The former U.S. Border Patrol Commander-At-Large — whose MAGA star turn came when President Donald Trump cast him as the lead in White House’s lethal immigration sweeps across America — mingled with Hitler admirers, avowed racists, and far-right politicians at the Salmanha Residence near Porto, Portugal for the 'Remigration Summit 2026.' "

“ 'The interest around him is enormous,' the event’s account on Telegram gushed, posting a photo of Bovino arriving at the hotel, giving an impromptu press conference to a gaggle of journalists outside. 'I am very happy to come over and lend some expertise to the Europeans' to stop 'illegal aliens destroying European culture,' he told them."

"The veteran American border cop appeared to leave his famous Nazi SS-style trench coat stateside, donning a suit jacket instead. But if his attire wasn’t a nod to violent ethno-nationalism, the speech and interviews he delivered at the conference were. Bovino opened his 15-minute lecture, to a crowd of about 500 mostly white men, by calling 'remigration' the 'most important topic perhaps of our lifetime,' according to a video provided to Talking Points Memo by Jacopo Di Miceli, an independent Italian journalist."

“ 'Remigration' is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing and refers to the forcible removal of non-white people from Western countries; it is the 'solution' offered up by white supremacists to the 'Great Replacement,' the racist conspiracy theory that global elites — and in many iterations, Jews — are orchestrating waves of immigration as part of a nefarious plot to eradicate white people from their 'homelands.'
