Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

ICE agents arrested a police officer Thursday morning in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park, accusing him of being an unlawful immigrant from Montenegro.

The Department of Homeland Security says the officer, Radule Bojovic, overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 2015.

The Hanover Park Police Department shared a Facebook post in August announcing Bojovic’s recent graduation from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy, adding that he had started “an intensive 15 weeks of field training and evaluation as he continues preparing to serve the Hanover Park community.”

I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with Chicago cops not cooperating with ice, right?

They claimed legal aliens cannot legally possess firearms. That is false. I'm not surprised the reporter couldn't be bothered to look into it, but is ICE hiring grade-schoolers or what?

Grade-school educations

You're giving them too much credit. This is the dregs of society just like the SA in the Third Reich.

Intensive 15 weeks. That's not even half a year of training.
