A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.

Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.

Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.

    Savage.

    No need to hate on the short kings out there, friend.

    (And before someone misinterprets this, I mean short kings in general. Not these ICE motherfuckers who can eat a dick.)

      Agreed. You hate on their attributes, you hate on others with same attributes. Let’s keep it real and hate on their attitudes and opinions instead, and their piece of shit-ness.
