Synopsis: Illinois CAUGHT With Illegal Alien Police Officer
In a shocking revelation by Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE), a police officer from Hanover Park, Illinois, has been identified as an illegal immigrant from Montenegro. This individual, who graduated from the police academy in August, had been living in the U.S. unlawfully for nearly a decade after his tourist visa expired in 2015. This incident occurred amidst heightened scrutiny of a new Illinois law allowing non-U.S. citizens with work authorization to apply for police positions. Critics argue that this law could inadvertently permit illegal immigrants to assume law enforcement roles, undermining democratic values. The situation has sparked widespread debate, with some state leaders distancing themselves from the implications. Notably, this isn’t an isolated case—another officer from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, was arrested for attempting to illegally purchase a firearm after ICE discovered he was also an illegal immigrant. As both the community and law enforcement grapple with these issues, questions about federal accountability and local hiring practices loom large.
