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

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.”

    Craig said that before Bojovic was hired, the village confirmed that he was legally authorized work in the United States.

    “Background checks performed by the FBI and Illinois State Police revealed no criminal history,” he added. “If Officer Bojovic did not hold federal work authorization, he would not have been hired.”

    He may have overstayed his visa at one point, but was currently legally here. Who knows since there is zero documentation requirements now.
