HANOVER PARK, Ill. (WLS) – United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a police officer Thursday morning in Hanover Park, accusing him of being an unlawful immigrant from Montenegro.
Hanover Park police are now saying the department hired the officer in January in “full compliance with federal and state law,” adding, the village confirmed he was legally authorized by the federal government to work in the United States. That is contradicting what the Department of Homeland Security said earlier Thursday.
Bojovic was set to be sworn in Thursday night as a Hanover Park police officer at the village board meeting.
At the meeting, ABC7 heard from those against the detainment of the police officer and those concerned over the hiring of the police officer, based off of the claims made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The village board president asked the community to consider the facts before reaching a judgement.
