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

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.”

CNN has reached out to the Hanover Park Police for comment and has attempted to contact Bojovic.

“Radule Bojovic violated our nation’s laws and was living ILLEGALLY in the United States for 10 years—what kind of police department gives criminal illegal aliens badges and guns? It’s a felony for aliens to even possess a firearm. A law enforcement officer who is actively breaking the law,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement to CNN Thursday.

Rodney Craig, the mayor of Hanover Park, said Thursday night that village officials will be monitoring Bojovic’s immigration proceedings. If he’s allowed to stay in the US and authorized to work, he will be returned to full duty status at the police department, Craig said at a municipal meeting.

“I encourage all our residents to gather all the available facts before forming their own opinion as to whether hiring the officer was appropriate. I can tell you with the utmost confidence it was appropriate,” he said. “First and foremost, the village and the police department conducted its own thorough due diligence as part of this hiring process. As is the case with the hiring of all police officers.”

Craig said that before Bojovic was hired, the village confirmed that he was legally authorized work in the United States.

“Background checks performed by the FBI and Illinois State Police revealed no criminal history,” he added. “If Officer Bojovic did not hold federal work authorization, he would not have been hired.”

In September, ICE agents arrested the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district, accusing him of being in the country illegally since the early 2000s. The superintendent was later charged with separate firearm offenses.

Same Chicago Tunibu forged his certificate from

Bro, things are happening in Chicago.
Infact, their mayor, who is a hardcore Democrat and member of BLM, has been acting worse than Rashida Tlaib the mxsxlxm brotherhood-sponsored Palestinian teror!st in US Congress.

Overtake don overtake, overtake!
Call it karma or nemesis.

AndroBlaze:
Watch, Trump will eventually free the man.

White Europeans are not part of the people ICE is suppose to target, especially those who join the police force.

This will be too much for MAGA to stomach, already Rogan is complaining.

Funny how every mxsxlxm is just waiting for a prominent voice to go against America or Israel.

"Rogan is complaining."

A mere podcaster fa

Racist white people, they didn't do a proper background check because he was white man.

If he were to be black man, they would ask for his grandmothers first boyfriend name ?
The name of his neighbors when he was 2 years old.
The color of the car of his great grandmother.

Even after all that, they will still find a reason not to hire him.

Well, there is a black man who is in the same ship as the white man, only he had been working in the country, as a suprietendent of schools, and before that as a school teacher for nearly 2 decades. They didn't even do the checks on him, and if anyone asked, he claimed to have been born in New York (not true).

Palestinian is an identity of lies and crime
It is not a location.
It is an identity.
So, when a cr!me is comm!tted, we refer to the person as Palestinian

He lived in the country for more than 10 years, that's more than enough time to get his citizenship.

I hope this one gets enough coverage and condemnation like the black guy. This is even worse. Someone gave him a badge and a gun.

Without background checks?

That's is what gives some people the mind that think they can go anywhere and just disappear.

Omo their system works o ,they would fish out any illegal immigrants

Let's face Nigeria first and census how many Futa Jallon terrorists have been recruited into the armed fixes in the last decade.

Our problem dwarfs that of the US with one terror franchise opening shop every quarter.
