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.

It's probably contradicting bc they tend to just make shit up to fit whatever narrative they need, in order to create the version of reality they need projected.

They're doing this bullshit all over the country to people in local public positions, not just police.

A. They're trying to clean house in democratic cities, and remove people from local government positions to decrease resistance and pushback to federal takeovers. If you go to just about any democratic city's subreddit right now, there's probably a weird propaganda campaign going on attacking one or several members of local government (DAs, city council, school boards). Most posts are full of the same generic comments about X city being weighed down by crime and corruption, because of elected official Y. Often there will be some general BS along the lines of how the city has always chosen failure by continuing to vote in these corrupt Democrats for decades rather than embracing a future of change.

B. Obviously this meant to make them look untouchable and intimidating in an attempt to frighten resistance into compliance.
