Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker accused Operation Midway Blitz Commander Gregory Bovino of targeting minorities, saying federal authorities had "acted violently against people" and detained those "who have Brown skin or who speak with an accent."

Bovino fired back, forcefully denying the claims on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.

"When you have this crazy rhetoric by folks like that governor or some of the other elected representatives that we've seen, all that does is lead to violence against our law enforcement officers and agents," Bovino said on "Fox & Friends."

"What we tell our agents is, we're legal, ethical, and moral in our operations every day, but we are going after those criminal illegal aliens with a vengeance."
