<p>An illegal immigrant who was working as a police officer in Illinois was released from federal detention last month.</p>
<p>An immigration judge granted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-arrests-illegal-immigrant-employed-as-a-cop-in-sanctuary-state">Radule Bojovic</a>, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Montenegro, a $2,500 immigration bond just two weeks after he was picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/hanover-park-police-officer-radule-bojovic-released-immigration-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBS News. His deportation case, however, is still ongoing.</p>
<p>Bojovic overstayed a B2 tourist visa that required him to leave the United States on March 31, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/10/16/governor-jb-pritzkers-illinois-illegal-alien-working-sworn-police-office-badge-gun" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time of his arrest. All the while, Bojovic was working as a police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department.</p>
<p>During his arrest, Bojovic <a href="https://x.com/BenBergquam/status/1978879958698332249" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Real America’s Voice reporter Ben Bergquam that he was authorized to carry a firearm while on duty. He also claimed to have a permit to work in the United States.</p>
<p>Bojovic was also approved by the Pension Fund Board of Trustees in January 2025 and was eligible to receive a starting salary of $78,955.70, according to DHS. His 2025 earnings were $205,707, including $9,276 for FICA/Medicare taxes.</p>
<p>DHS blamed Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker&#8217;s sanctuary policies for allowing the illegal immigrant to serve as a cop.</p>
<p>“Governor 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,&#8221; Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. &#8220;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? It’s a felony for aliens to even possess a firearm. A so-called law enforcement officer who is actively breaking the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem ICE is restoring law and order. Criminal illegal aliens have NO PLACE in our communities, especially on our police forces,” McLaughlin added.</p>
<p>The Hanover Police Department previously said that they confirmed that Bojovic &#8220;was legally authorized by the federal government to work in the United States&#8221; before hiring him.</p>
<p>&#8220;At the time of his hire, Officer Bojovic presented the Village with a Work Authorization Card, which was issued by the federal government’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The card was valid and recently renewed. We also conducted a full background check, including his criminal history with both the Illinois State Police and the FBI,&#8221; the agency said when Bojovic was caught.</p>
<p>&#8220;Further, the Village also confirmed, based on a memorandum issued by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives on January 5, 2024, that his immigration status allowed him to carry a firearm while on duty,&#8221; they added.</p>
<p>The Trump administration commenced &#8220;Operation Midway Blitz&#8221; in September to clean the streets of illegal immigrants across the state of Illinois.</p>
<p>Anti-ICE agitators, and even cartels, have tried to threaten and block federal agents carrying out the operations.</p>
<p>Border Patrol agents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-violence-must-end-man-opens-fire-on-border-patrol-agents-in-chicago-chaos-erupts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were shot at</a> on Saturday while carrying out raids in Chicago&#8217;s Little Village neighborhood, which is largely populated with immigrants.</p>
<p>The shooter fled the scene and one suspect was later arrested. It is not clear, however, if the suspect in custody was the shooter.</p>
