Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was reportedly ejected from a popular Las Vegas bar last week simply for being recognized by the staff.
The incident took place at Bottled Blonde on the Las Vegas Strip last Friday, just days after Bovino was reassigned from his high-profile role in Minnesota.
According to reports, Bovino was enjoying red wine with a group of associates when bar staff identified him and asked him to leave.
“The Bottled Blonde bar in Vegas has told the Beast that staff asked Bovino to leave its three-story sports bar on the city’s famous Strip—where he had been photographed drinking red wine and laughing with a group of male acolytes—and escorted him off the premises to protect those inside,” the Daily Beast reports.
Photos and videos posted on social media show him having a good time and not bothering anyone.

In a statement provided to the outlet, Bottled Blonde management said, “Bottled Blonde does not engage in political activity or affiliations. As a private business, Bottled Blonde reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion.”
“Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons,” the statement concluded.
News 3 Las Vegas spoke to attorney Tre Lovell about the legality of kicking someone out like this.
Lovell said not only is it legal, but it is also wise because they could open themselves up to lawsuits if people are injured in a fight at the establishment.
If the bar actually intended to maintain political neutrality, however, it seems more sensible to remove people who were causing problems because they were upset by Bovino’s mere presence.
Bovino had been the public face of Minneapolis immigration enforcement operations that drew widespread protests, which escalated after the fatal shooting of armed agitator Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.
