California passed a law that allows non-U.S. citizens to serve as police officers.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore says his department is taking the nationwide lead on a unique immigration challenge: allowing non-citizen DACA recipients who become sworn officers the ability to carry a firearm full-time.
 

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said his department is working to allow non-citizen DACA recipients who are officers the ability to carry a firearm, full-time.

California passed a law that allows non-U.S. citizens to serve as police officers.

"What's unique here is that the state is attempting, its agencies, are attempting to identify clear policy that's defendable, and articulates the basis for this allowance, and we believe we're the first agency that has done that in the state of California," said Moore during Tuesday's police commissioners meeting.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was first launched in 2012 under the Obama administration and allows certain undocumented immigrants who were children when they were brought to the U.S. to apply for deferred action, and be eligible for work permits.

Immigration groups such as the Council of Mexican Federations, also known as COFEM, say this is a positive move.

"We think the DACA-mented people have a dream of becoming full-fledged members of our society," said Francisco Moreno of COFEM. "Their loyalty is proven, and they excel in many fields."

However, there are federal restrictions regarding DACA recipients having guns. They could have police-issued weapons on duty, but wouldn't be allowed to take them home like other officers.

So much for gun control in California, right?

They want to arm a hostile, alien population.

Drooling over the day they can stick a gun in the face of Whitey. Take that, Gringo!

“Their loyalty is proven”

To what and to whom?

PS, note that Michel “Moore” is actually a Spaniard whose last name is Sanchotena; he changed the name to his stepfather’s last name after encountering “prejudice” in the South.

IOW, he’s a hispanic supremacist in charge of the LAPD.

Commiefornia strikes again. Just dig a Grand Canyon sized trench around it and call it no mans land.

Yeah. Being pulled over by an MS 13 cop would be different. You’d never speed, drive or walk again.

They’re probably not much worse than the US citizens who are willing to take cop jobs in these screwed up woke cities.

“A ‘gun-free’ state patrolled by armed mexican police.”

Just one more small step to blue helmets with a UN stencil.

Guess who they’ll be putting in uniform when they come after American citizens to finish the coup?

Here illegally but CA wants to give them the ability to arrest you for breaking the law? Makes sense.

Aren’t illegals prohibited persons under Federal law?

What could possibly go wrong? Cartel member cops?

That was my first thought.

Just what we need.

Armed cartel members *policing* our cities.

The LA school superintendent just stated 80% of students depend on free breakfast. Lunch. And a snack.

He is discussing the flooding and school closures.
