ICE arrests police officer in Chicago suburb and accuses him of being in US illegally

Source: CNN

ICE agents arrested a police officer Thursday morning in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park, accusing him of being an unlawful immigrant from Montenegro.

The Department of Homeland Security says the officer, Radule Bojovic, overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 2015.

According to the department, Bojovic was “encountered during a targeted enforcement action” in ICE’s immigration-focused operation in Illinois.

The Hanover Park Police Department shared a Facebook post in August announcing Bojovic’s recent graduation from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy, adding that he had started “an intensive 15 weeks of field training and evaluation as he continues preparing to serve the Hanover Park community.”

obtaining their citizenship and begin to arrest those hiring undocumented immigrants, I will never believe this is anything but White Supremacy in action.

Hanover Park police said he has right to work papers that were recently renewed. They also said they did background checks thru the FBI a another agency that I don't recall. I believe he's been here since 2014.

It sounds like they checked Bojovic out before they hired him.

Nobody accuses the ICE-turds for being very smart. And God knows that none of them are lawyers.

I served 30 years in the United States Navy. During my time in, I met and worked with dozens of active duty military members that were foreign, but legally authorized to be in and work in the United States.

They weren't allowed in certain jobs that required security clearances, but they served on flight deck Crash and Salvage teams, as Plane Captains, Damage Control Specialist, Cooks, Engineers, etc.

If someone is here legally, they can work in law enforcement and other jobs.
