Seattle has become the latest Dem-run city trying to replace an exodus of police officers with illegal migrants.
Washington's largest city has just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years.
Now its police department has tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program.
And under a law change signed by Democrat Governor Jay Inslee in February they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.
Radio host Jason Rantz tells NewsNation's Morning in America, 'I think if you have anyone who is qualified and willing to do the job, including qualified Americans who speak another language, they should be treated just as equally as everybody else.'
'So each person who shows up for an interview has to admit to committing a felony,' one retired officer wrote on X. 'A federal trial should take place prior to any hiring I would assume?'
More than 500,000 people in the US registered under the Obama-era DACA program before it was rescinded by Donald Trump in 2017.
While they are allowed to work in the US under a renewable two-year work permit, restrictions on carrying firearms had previously barred them from police work.
But in a memo last year the Justice Department stated that 'DACA recipients can possess duty firearms and possess ammunition as part of their official law enforcement officer duties'.
Seattle Police previously restricted applications to those who 'hold a United States citizenship, OR have legal permanent residency in the US,' but updated its LinkedIn page last week.
'The Seattle Police Department is now accepting applications from DACA recipients,' it reads.

So persons actively breaking the law enforce the law.
Perfect for a Democrat hellhole.
Totally agree with you.
PLENTY
No, he wouldn’t. Certainly not the best person in the world, but he did open and funded the countries first soup kitchen and funded charities. He loved jazz and gave black musicians opportunities, when he wasn’t killing someone.
I think Capone was a genesis for the corruption here in Illinois. Politicians of BOTH parties learned a lot from him.
Absolutely
Seattle, like other Demonicrat-controlled cities, is now an open sewer, with the Demonicrat voters being the floaters.
All according to plan.
I hate them more and more every day.
I still can’t get over that tall black guy, with the beard-stubble, pressed-hair and the sequined dress! That was, most assuredly, not a “Christian” gathering!
Seattle is about to lose the other 913 members of the police force who are legal US residents. They would have done better to hire BLM, who effectively WERE the superior force in the streets.
You’re 100% correct.
A “gospel” festival without regard to Scripture.
This reminds me of the church organization that I worked for, a couple of years.
“Church” held at the company every single month of the year.
LOTS of praise and worship. The entire hour.
NOT ONCE do I recall anyone cracking a Bible and preaching a single verse. There may have been one guy but it was very brief and he was the guest preacher on that day.
If anyone else did such, I certainly cannot recall it.
The organization had been taken over by a lot of liberals.
No, I won’t name them - not even in FReepmail.
I was really taken aback.
How can a felon arrest someone for a misdemeanor?
The cartel takes over law enforcement in the U.S.. What could possibly go wrong....
The Mexican drug cartels will now be the police in Seattle.
Looks like Seattle’s “Summer of love” is turning into “Years in Hell”.
“Joltin’ Joe.” A FB frenemy called him “a stallion.”
This can very quickly devolve into a law enforcement “circle-jerk”: illegal aliens arresting each other ... with lots of pepper spray, tasers and guns for all!
Illegal alien with a badge and a gun: "Give me your license please."
Driver: "I don't have one."
Illegal alien with a badge and a gun: "Yeah, I don't have one either."
