Customs and Border Protection commander Greg Bovino is returning to El Centro, California, as chief of that sector after a temporary stint as commander-at-large, according to sources.

Local officials dispute the agency’s characterization of the shooting, claiming the individual involved was lawfully carrying a gun and not threatening agents.
