DHS Investigates Gregory Bovino's Remarks About Prosecutor's Jewish Faith The Department of Homeland Security has launched an investigation into comments made by Gregory Bovino, a former prosecutor, about the Jewish faith of his former colleague, Judge Susan Hoffenberg. The remarks were widely condemned as anti-Semitic and sparked outrage within the legal community. According to sources familiar with the matter, Mr. Bovino's comments were made during a private meeting at a conference in New York City earlier this month. During the conversation, he allegedly referred to Judge Hoffenberg's Jewish heritage, stating that it was "influencing her decision-making" as a prosecutor. The investigation by the Department of Homeland Security is focused on determining whether Mr. Bovino's comments constituted hate speech or violated any federal laws related to discrimination based on religion. The agency has been working closely with the Justice Department and other law enforcement agencies to gather evidence and interview witnesses. Judge Hoffenberg, who was not immediately available for comment, has been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. Her office has received numerous complaints about Mr. Bovino's behavior in the past, according to sources familiar with the matter. The controversy surrounding Mr. Bovino's remarks comes at a time when anti-Semitic incidents are on the rise across the United States. The Anti-Defamation League reported that there were over 2,700 incidents of anti-Semitism in 2025, a significant increase from previous years. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear what charges, if any, Mr. Bovino may face as a result of his comments.#United_States #Justice_Department #New_York_City #Gregory_Bovino #Susan_Hoffenberg #Department_of_Homeland_Security #AntiDefamation_League
