Bovino: "Trump is the best deporter I've ever worked for."

"The president has a team to rely on, he can't do it all himself. Some of the team may not have the fortitude that President Trump does."

"I felt like we had President Trump behind us... I heard from Secretary Noem and Mr. Lewandowski: 'the president likes what you're doing.'"

"Sometimes cold feet, whether that's polling numbers or whatever, can come into play, and that's too bad, because this is for America. I don't give a damn about the polling numbers."

"Those Border Patrol agents are some of the greatest patriots I've ever worked alongside... there was no backing down whatsoever... I think that motivated President Trump to some extent... Maybe his crew need to get out in the fight with us... maybe that would motivate them also?"
