A Department of Homeland Security promo video featuring Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in a stylish black trench coat has ignited Nazi comparisons, including from Gavin Newsom.
The high-octane clip was posted the day that Bovino, 55, was ordered to attend daily court check-ins by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.
It splices footage of the commander outside the Chicago federal courthouse with a stylized black-and-white still of him in a calf-length coat, star collar pins, and slicked crewcut hair.
Set to a European gabber-style version of Coldplays Viva la Vida featuring the on-screen text overlay WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED, the post read, We REFUSE to back down from our mission to make America safe.
It added, [Bovino] is putting his life on the line to protect our citizens, and no amount of radical terror or anarchy will stop us in our mission.
Viewers immediately likened Bovinos look to an SS-era uniform, sharing side-by-side images of Adolf Hitler and his officers, with one quipping, Nice SS vibe.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
