"While the other federal agents seem to wear 'whatever they have to hand', he argued that Bovino 'stands out from this thuggish mob, just as an elegant SS officer stands out from the rowdy SA mob. The dashing undercut is also spot on; all that’s missing for the perfect cosplay is a monocle.”

"Arno Frank, a writer at Der Spiegel, said in a separate article that what he described as the 'authoritarian intervention' in the US was still establishing its 'distinctive aesthetic'.

'No wonder, then, that figures like Bovino are resorting to tried-and-tested models,' he said."

"A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic. ...
