Bovino is responsible for managing all Border Patrol operations and administrative functions within the El Centro Sector, which covers 70 miles of land along the border, as well as inland areas of California, extending to the Oregon State line.
Bovino previously served as chief patrol agent of the agency’s New Orleans sector.
