Denver Sheriff Patrick Firman made an executive decision that deputy sheriff applicants should be U.S. citizens.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s Department of Justice, which claims to employ only U.S. citizens, would have none of it. Thus, the DOJ announced on Nov. 21 that it has shaken down another local law enforcement agency by settling an “immigration-related discrimination claim against the Denver Sheriff Department.”
Perhaps Firman thought that spending significant time and resources to properly train his deputies, who swear an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, Colorado’s Constitution, and local laws, carry firearms, and are authorized to use deadly force, should actually have allegiance to the United States, as opposed to “work-authorized immigrants” whose allegiance is to Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, or Syria, for example, and may return home.
The Lynch mob’s settlement agreement claims that the “largest sheriff department in the state of Colorado” violated the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), noting that:
“The INA’s anti-discrimination provision prohibits employers from limiting jobs to U.S. citizens except where the employer is required to do so by law, regulation, executive order or government contract. The Denver Sheriff Department was not subject to one of the INA’s exceptions.”
U.S. law codified at 8 U.S.C. 1324b makes it clear that exceptions include “discrimination because of citizenship status which is otherwise required in order to comply with law, regulation, or executive order.” The sheriff issued an executive order. Case closed.

All Colorado needs to do to be in compliance is to pass a law requiring US citizenship to be a cop.
Add the INA to the list of laws to be repealed then. Every single law the commies abuse should just be repealed.
I crack myself up...
I agree
Just stall the DOJ until January 20th and you’ll be fine....
America will be a better and safer country, when Trump boots Lynch and gets a good American in charge of the DOJ!
What concerns me more than an immigrant cop is an immigrant truck driver with 4000 gallons of a chemical that will kill an entire city in a few minutes.
Flip DOJ the finger. We do not have a hierarchy in law enforcement in this nation. The DOJ does not have supervisory authority over a local sheriffs dept.
They can file a lawsuit and that’s it.
Then after giving them the finger, give them lots of sunshine. Make sure everyone knows the names and addresses of the DOJ types who pushed this. Have press conferences that point out that the DOJ only employs citizens. Refer to them as the “all US citizen DOJ”. They count on fear based compliance and that they can hide in the dark, so take both away.
“deputy sheriff applicants should be U.S. citizens.”
This should be common sense.
Disgusting that the DoJ is against it.
Loretta Lynch, like her boss Barack Obama, needs to be tried for treason once Trump takes over.
Less than two months til this changes
Loretta Lynch is committing treason. Period.
Whatever became of American jobs for American citizens? Oh I forget Colorado is now part of the Queer Nation.
That was dumb of the sheriff to announce that. If he’d kept his mouth shut and hired who he wanted, this wouldn’t have brought on trouble.
Since this is Federal law, the executive order being referred to is a Presidential Executive Order.
it’s scum like . U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her boss that made it possible for the election of Donnie Trump.
The pendulum is about to swing waaaay back to the right.
The federal government can’t compel state authorities to hire illegals. The USSC has ruled numerous times that state and county elected officials are sovereigns. The mentally-stunted runt at DOJ is full of chit.
Yeah. Thank goodness we don’t live anywhere near a major rail yard!
