A suburban Chicago cop was taken into custody by ICE agents this month, and the arrest has blown open a political fight over sanctuary policies, hiring standards, and who gets to wear a badge in Illinois. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Radule Bojovic, a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, is a citizen of Montenegro who overstayed a tourist visa and remained in the country unlawfully for roughly a decade. He was encountered during a targeted sweep under Operation Midway Blitz, the new Department of Homeland Security campaign focused on the Chicago area.
The operation has already produced hundreds of arrests across the region, according to local and federal tallies, and it has drawn national attention with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem visiting Chicago as the surge ramped up. ICE and DHS describe Midway Blitz as a crackdown on offenders shielded by what they call Illinois’s sanctuary posture, while Chicago leaders and immigrant advocates accuse the feds of fear-mongering and overreach.
The Bojovic arrest is the kind of headline that both sides seize upon. In announcing the case, DHS officials highlighted that Bojovic worked as a sworn officer despite his immigration status.....
Hanover Park officials quickly pushed back, saying the village followed the rules. In a public statement, the village said Bojovic was hired in January 2025 “in full compliance with federal and state law,” and that before he joined the force he “presented the Village with a Work Authorization Card” issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which the village said was valid and recently renewed. The village added that federal and state background checks were conducted and that the ATF determined in January that his status allowed him to carry a firearm while on duty.

What kind of police officer only carries a firearm while on duty?
So that work permit would have been issued sometime in 2024, courtesy of Alejandro Mayorkas.

Coming from Montenegro, that is a kings fortune. The Quisling Puppet Biden and Mayorkas were giving away the entire USA treasury to illegal aliens. When will they be executed by military firing squad?

To put in context of source.
“Bojovic was hired in January 2025”.
Rules change. Usually it behooves one to follow the current rules, not the previous ones.
P.S- knowing they were stepping out of power the dems were probably handing out work authorizations and green cards like candy on Halloween.

It is becoming obvious that the Democrat Party is a mafia organization, literally. All of the things that are being brought to light indicate that. The ONLY reason all of the crime is supported, being allowed to continue, etc., etc. has to be that it brings income to the “organization”, the Democrat Party or Democrat leadership in a given region. They ARE mafia.
I don’t know a great deal about being a policeman. Are you saying the typical Cop would not only be carrying while on duty, but most likely, he would be carrying at any time he left his residence?
Yes, consequences for those orchestrating the destruction of the republic.
Pam Bondi Could Lose Her Law License, Ex-Prosecutor Warns (Andrew Weissmann, BARF!, Oct 26, 2025)

“Trump has active claims seeking more than 230 million dollars from the federal government for past investigations into him, including the Russia probe and the Mar-a-Lago documents case.”
“Weissmann’s on-air analysis mirrors the alarm coming from legal ethics experts who have watched Trump blur the line between public power and private gain. “
“it is a bar issue because state disciplinary rules prohibit conflicts that materially limit a lawyer's professional judgment. Weissmann’s bottom line was simple: career prosecutors should handle this, and if political appointees try to muscle in, the bar can and should take a look.”
“Weissmann’s warning is not bluster” “expect the bar to come calling.” (BARF! ComDem Lawfare Insanity) [The BAR does not make the Law]
(CYA for “weasel” Weissmann)
It always has been a criminal organization.
And was the cause of most of the horrid events in the USA: slavery, Irish indentured servitude, the Trail of Tears, slaughter of Chinese railroad workers, segregation, Japanese inurnment, you name it.
the bar is a private organization.
It has no ties to government.
And it is run by leftists.
“What kind of police officer only carries a firearm while on duty?”
.
My Sheriff’s department required all its deputies to be armed—on-duty or off-duty.
As a Deputy, I always carried, even forgetting I had it in an ankle holster while mowing the lawn!
However, I think I was nearly alone in doing so.
😞
Not clear to me, either.
Don't forget the lifetime pension and benefits that those of us in the private sector can only dream of, and can only self-fund a fraction of in our own retirement, which, unlike public sector employees, doesn't start until at least 65, while they often retire at 55 (with a full pension).
Exactly.
Weissmann = KNOWN “weasel” deeply involved in LawFare.
