ICE brokers arrested a police officer Thursday morning in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park, accusing him of being an illegal immigrant from Montenegro.
The Department of Homeland Security says the officer, Radule Bojovic, overstayed a vacationer visa that expired in 2015.
According to the division, 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 asserting Bojovic’s current commencement from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy, including that he had began “an intensive 15 weeks of field training and evaluation as he continues preparing to serve the Hanover Park community.”
NCS has reached out to the Hanover Park Police for remark and has tried 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,” stated DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a press release to NCS Thursday.
In September, ICE brokers arrested the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district, accusing him of being in the nation illegally for the reason that early 2000s. The superintendent was later charged with separate firearm offenses.
