Illinois cop—authorized to carry gun—arrested by ICE for 10-year visa overstay
The Post Millennial ^ | 10/16/25 | Hannah Nightingale

ICE has arrested an illegal immigrant in the Chicago area who was serving as a local police officer. Radule Bojovic was taken into custody as part of the ongoing Operation Midway Blitz.

Per Real America’s Voice’s Ben Bergquam, Bojovic, an illegal immigrant from Montenegro, was arrested on October 15 in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park. Bojovic reportedly overstayed his B-2 visitor visa and had been required to leave the country by March 31, 2015, but did not.

Bojovic provided his employment identification card to authorities upon his arrest, which confirmed that he was a member of the Hanover Park Police Department. He also told authorities that he had no weapons on him, but was authorized to carry a firearm while on duty. Bojovic told authorities that he became an officer in January after graduating from the police academy.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Chicago Field Office Director Sam Olson said in a statement, "Illegal aliens are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms — full stop. This is the second known instance in recent months of a local police department hiring an illegal alien and unlawfully issuing him a firearm while on duty in violation of federal law. It is alarming how local jurisdictions continue to disregard federal law to the detriment of their communities."

This is what recovery from decades of lax enforcement of immigration laws looks like.

"...a local police department hiring an illegal alien and unlawfully issuing him a firearm while on duty in violation of federal law."

Everybody involved in authorizing, issuing and enabling this crimmigrant to carry a firearm should be criminally charged and terminated from their jobs.

I thought Trump was cracking down on illegals because he’s racist. At least that’s what the moonbats are saying. Last I checked Montenegro is full of white people, so I guess this really IS about illegals and not about race.

Of course this won’t stop the moonbats

Don’t hold your breath. Malfeasance by police is almost never punished.

Pritzker has, so far, been silent on this one.

The Illegal: You know how when you’re having fun the time just flies past and you don’t believe your watch or your calendar? Like binge watching Seinfeld or Friends reruns?

A perfect example of why Chicago/Illinois is in real trouble.

Everyone involved in the failed background check needs to go to prison.

The perp himself should have double sentencing: one for committing the crime and two for failure to enforce the law as a badged officer.

I visited Montenegro this summer. Gorgeous place. When he gets deported he will find that the quality of life is far better than it was when he left. And far better than where he is staying. Not much jobs beyond tourism yes, but the land is gorgeous: a fantastic coastline and mountains

City officials didn’t bother doing a background check, same as with the school board in Des Moines, IA who hired an illegal alien with a criminal record as school superintendent. Like a DEI hire.
