Wrong
In short, the Bojovic case illustrates that although overstaying a visa is generally a civil matter, additional conduct (like possessing a firearm while unlawfully present or misusing documents) can convert a person’s situation into one involving criminal charges.

Statement by Hanover Park PD https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/hanover-park-police-say-officer-arrested-by-ice-was-hired-legally:
What Hanover Park PD Says:
Late Thursday afternoon, Hanover Park police issued a statement saying Officer Bojovic was hired "in full compliance with federal and state law."
Before his hiring, the village confirmed through the federal government that Bojovic was legally authorized to work in the U.S., according to the police department.
"At the time of his hire, Officer Bojovic presented the Village with a Work Authorization Card, which was issued by the federal government's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The card was valid and recently renewed. We also conducted a full background check, including his criminal history with both the Illinois State Police and the FBI," part of the police department's statement reads.
"The bottom line is that all information we received from the federal government indicated that Officer Bojovic is legally authorized to work in the United States as a police officer. Clearly, without that authorization, the Village would not have hired him. Additionally, the Village has not received any notice from any federal or state agency that his work authorization status has ever been revoked."
Police said the village also confirmed Bojovic’s immigration status allows him to carry a firearm while on duty.

Nice try.
Hopefully he will be charged with the crimes he committed, tried, convicted, serve time, and be deported.
Why would anyone cheer deporting a hard-working, tax paying member of society?
I thought you said you were going after violent grang members, terrorists, and drug dealers! In fact, you have take resources away from the violent criminals in order to deport this guy?! And you expect to be thanked? When there is a shortage of police officers?
Yes, what could possibly go wrong with letting just anybody with a job stay in the country? No need to check them out to make sure they aren’t a criminal or a terrorist, or approve their desire to stay. Just c’mon in & get a job & you’re good to stay. Perfect.
Nice dodge. As evidenced by many quotes earlier in the thread, we were promised that ICE was going after the worst of the worst, the gang members and rapists. Instead, they are allowing the violent crimes to go unchecked because all the resources are needed to detain non-violent immigrants who overstayed their visa. Gotcha.
You’re joking, right? I could leave post after post if the criminal aliens that have been arrested. In fact there USED TO BE a thread here listing some of those aliens and the disgusting crimes they committed. It was deleted by the moderator. I guess facts are inconvenient for your narrative.
Here is a sample of some of those arrested recently. And this is only a drop in a sea of arrests.
DP. Show all the samples of arrests that you want. Assuming they're legit, they don't comprise a majority of the individuals that have been detained by ICE. Some bad apples do not mean all the apples are rotten. The current administration, starting with the president who maligned Mexicans on the day that he announced his candidacy, are directly or indirectly suggesting that MOST undocumented migrants are bad people or criminals. No one is upset about real criminals being caught--it's the way that everyone else is treated that is the problem.

CHICAGO - A Hanover Park police officer accused of living in the U.S. illegally has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of a federal crackdown targeting sanctuary cities like Chicago.
What we know:
ICE said Thursday that agents arrested Radule Bojovic, a native of Montenegro, who was working as a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department. Officials said Bojovic entered the U.S. on a tourist visa that expired in March 2015 and remained illegally for a decade.
The arrest came during Operation Midway Blitz, a DHS enforcement campaign launched in September to target undocumented immigrants with criminal records in the Chicago area.
According to DHS, Hanover Park Police Department records confirm Bojovic was approved by the Pension Fund Board of Trustees in January 2025 and eligible for a starting salary of $78,955.
DHS said records also show his total earnings this year cost taxpayers $205,707, including $9,276 for FICA/Medicare taxes.

I am a naturalized citizen so I understand the immigration process better than an average person, one cannot get a SSN on a tourist visa, that just doesn't happen. How did he manage to get a law enforcement job without a SSN? This means, at some point he had a valid work authorization and along with that a SSN was issued, just to say he worked on a tourist visa is misrepresenting the facts. OTOH, maybe he faked a SSN and police department didn't even bother to complete the initial inquiry, the probability of that exists but is very slim.
They need to share further details because based on the information shared, it looks like ICE is fabricating the facts.
I doubt it. According to this agent, all you need in Illinois to be hired as a police officer is a work authorization.
If that is accurate, that is insanity.......
Permanent residents and DACA recipients are able to serve in the military. Why shouldn't they be allowed to be police officers?
He is not a permanent resident or DACA recipient. He is here illegally. He overstayed his visa.
He is an illegal alien who has been given a firearm to use in potentially deadly situations against citizens.
How does this make sense????
I’ll wait for ICE to provide some evidence of what they claim. Until then, it’s just them saying whatever they feel like saying in order to kidnap people.
