Rosen delegated the call to a deputy. During the call, with a handful of prosecutors listening in, #Bovino complained that Rosen had been unreachable for portions of the weekend because of Shabbat. Bovino’s remarks followed his complaints about having difficulty reaching Rosen.

@Nonilex he looks more and more like Pig-Pen every time I see him.
@Nonilex
Bovino is a little punk bitch.
@Nonilex One thing I’ve noticed about this Nazi SS person…he SURE is dressing the part.
@Nonilex With that ridiculous haircut he has no business mocking anyone.
It was adorable. He wriggled out of his high-chair and crawled to the speaker to do it, spilling his sippy cup of blood on the way. But that's okay because his didie was full and Greg hates having his lil wiener powdered, so getting him out of his favorite chair is tough.
A day before 6 career federal #prosecutors resigned in #protest over #DOJ’s handling of the killing of #ReneeGood in #Minneapolis, lawyers in the office had a conversation with #Bovino, the #BorderPatrol field leader, that left them deeply unsettled.
Acc/to several people with knowledge of the conversation on Jan 12, Bovino made derisive remarks about the #faith of the #USattorney in #Minnesota, Daniel N. Rosen. Rosen is an Orthodox #Jew & observes Shabbat….
#Bovino, who has been the face of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown, used the term “chosen people” in a mocking way, acc/to people with knowledge….He also asked, sarcastically, whether Rosen understood that Orthodox #Jewish criminals don’t take weekends off, the people said.
Bovino had requested the meeting with Rosen to press the #Minnesota office to work more aggressively to seek criminal charges against people Bovino believed were unlawfully impeding the work of #immigration agents.

#Bovino’s comments raised judgment concerns, but also a potential legal dilemma for govt lawyers. Based on a 1972 #SCOTUS decision in a case known as Giglio, prosecutors have an obligation to disclose certain information to the defense that could call into question the #integrity & #character of a law enforcement officer who is involved in an arrest & called as a witness in a trial.

Rosen, a commercial litigator, has kept a relatively low profile since he became the #USattorney in #Minnesota last Oct.
In an interview that month with an online news outlet, #Jewish Insider, Rosen said that one of his “primary motivations” for seeking his current role was the power it gave him to combat what he called the “rapid escalation of #violent #antisemitism” in the #US.

“ #Jewish history tells us that Jews fare poorly in societies that turn polarized, & where that polarization evolves into factional hatreds in the non-Jewish societies within which we live,” Rosen told the outlet.
#Bovino, a #BorderPatrol commander based in Southern California, became among the most visible figures in the #Trump admin’s aggressive #immigration crackdown in cities starting last summer.
