An Illinois police officer living in the United States illegally has been arrested by immigration authorities, the Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday.
Radule Bojovic, an illegal immigrant from Montenegro who was working as a sworn police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, was taken into custody during Operation Midway Blitz, which targets illegal immigrants living in Illinois because of the state's sanctuary policies, federal officials said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the police department and the office of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and his immigration policies.
"J.B. Pritzker doesn’t just allow violent illegal aliens to terrorize Illinois’s communities — he allows illegal aliens to work as sworn police officers," said Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "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?"

Horrible.
When Pritzker said he is going to arrest and prosecute ICE agents, why isn’t that obstruction of justice? He is threatening Federal law officers!
WOW. This must have the democrats in a massive case of cognitive dissonance.
“Trump only deports brown people. We hate the cops. We love the cops. Save the white illegal aliens. REEEEEEEEEEE”
This is the second case of illegals becoming cops I heard of this year. How many more are there out there?
Is someone’s lawyer going to sue for wrongful prosecution of any perp where this non-policeman was involved in the proceedings?
