A video circulating online shows U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory K. Bovino confronting a group of activists during an enforcement operation in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The footage was filmed in a parking lot, a detail confirmed by subtitles in the video that reference the New Orleans location during the confrontation.
As tensions rise, activists move closer to federal agents while questioning the operation. Commander Bovino is seen positioning himself between the agents and the approaching crowd, repeatedly urging distance and attempting to de-escalate the situation.
During the encounter, a man on the ground can be heard screaming for help. Agents remain focused on maintaining control of the scene as voices from the surrounding crowd grow louder.
Bovino appears to prioritize spacing between officers and civilians, physically placing himself in front of agents while directing others to step back.
No weapons are visible in the footage, though the situation remains tense as emotions escalate and the crowd continues pressing toward law enforcement.
It is not clear from the video whether arrests were made or if anyone required medical attention following the incident.
Authorities have not released additional details, and the video continues to spark debate online about enforcement operations, crowd control, and protest interactions with federal agents.
