“It is absolutely deranged that this activist judge released this criminal illegal alien and now he is back on FULL DUTY as a police officer to enforce the law, which he is breaking with every breath he takes on US soil,” McLaughlin’s statement read. “Among a litany of other crimes, it is a felony for an illegal alien to possess a firearm.”

The Tribune has reached out to Hanover Park police for a response.

At the time of Bojovic’s arrest, village officials maintained the police department hired Bojovic in January “in full compliance with federal and state law.” State records show that Bojovic was hired Jan. 8 and certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board in August.

Before bringing Bojovic onto its police force, the village stated that it had confirmed he was legally authorized by the federal government to work in the U.S., noting that when he was hired, he provided the village with a work authorization card. Village officials have also stated that they haven’t received any notice that his card had ever been revoked.

According to an employment application Bojovic submitted to the village in June 2024, he attended high school in Chicago and previously worked at a church as a janitor and at Ross, village records show.

In response to an application question asking why he wanted to become a Hanover Park police officer, Bojovic wrote: “I’m motivated by a strong desire to serve and protect the community. I’m drawn to the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, ensuring safety and fostering trust.”

When the administration of President Donald Trump announced its local mass deportation mission in early September, it came with promises to “target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens” in the city.

But newly released data analyzed by the Tribune shows that of the roughly 1,900 immigrants that agents booked in the first half of Operation Midway Blitz, two-thirds had no known criminal convictions or pending charges.

Background checks into Bojovic by both Illinois State Police and the FBI yielded no criminal history, per Hanover Park police.

The department, in an Aug. 22 post to Facebook, congratulated Bojovic on graduating from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy. The academy, a program out of the College of DuPage in west suburban Glen Ellyn, aims to prepare “recruits for a successful career in law enforcement,” according to the college’s website. It offers a 16-week training program based on curriculum approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, per program details listed online.

According to Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board records provided to the Tribune, Bojovic completed 640 hours of basic training and 40 hours of mandatory firearms training between May 5 and Aug. 22.

After graduating from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy, Hanover Park police in its August Facebook post stated Bojovic was set to begin an “intensive 15 weeks of field training and evaluation as he continues preparing to serve the Hanover Park community.”

Now back to full-duty, Bojovic will receive back pay from the village for the time he was on leave.

Speaking as someone that thinks we should have open borders, BAN POLICE UNIONS!

wtf is a "illegal"? you mean an illegal alien?

>>1462261
Yeah.
What's crazy about this story is that the state gave him a gun though. That's a violation of federal gun laws.

>>1462267
>That's a violation of federal gun laws.
They literally asked the feds if his immigration status would be a problem for his gun ownership and were told no. Either he's actually legal (would not surprise me since immigration processes are Kafkaesque to fuck over immigrants) or somebody fucked up on the federal side (would not surprise me since federal gun regulation is Kafkaesque to fuck over regulators).

It's almost like deliberately designing parts of the federal government to be as slow and prone to error as possible to use their failures for political points or to break systems that are unwanted for partisan reasons but not unpopular enough to publicly remove leads to bad outcomes or something. Maybe someone should fucking tell Republicans that.

I've never forgotten the fact that our federal gun records either have to be destroyed within a few days of being obtained or be tossed in a gigantic unsorted, bug eaten collection of physical records depending on the type of record because the federal government maintaining a searchable database is explicitly illegal not because of the Constitution or SCOTUS but because Congress explicitly set it up that way. It's anarchy by bureaucracy. Dibs on the band name.

>or somebody fucked up on the federal side
It's illegal for illegal immigrants to be in the US. It's also very illegal for them to be in possession of a firearm.
But this is Illinois. Which means he not only gets to use a gun, but also use a gun while working as a member of the police.
I don't what the end game of democrats is in regards to this shit.

>>1462289
do you really pretend to be a resident of every state that gets mentioned on /news/

>>1462290
>ESL doesn't understand what federal law is

>>1462291
it was a yes or no question. a rhetorical one, actually (you needn't respond)

>>1462292
"This is illinois" was in reference to the story and the subject at hand, not the actual physical state.

>>1462293
"rhetorical question" was a reminder that i'm making fun of you for being a shill and there's nothing you can do about it

>>1462290
First, since you're a retard I'll declare NTA ready to provide proof.
I'd also like to inform you that the decreasing amount of posters on this shitty dead board do not appreciate your shitty posts and your complete retard routine.

"Pigmalien" was my best play

>>1462255
>illinois police can't even follow their own laws
I'm shocked.
