Last summer, we reported that ICE had detained a Jamaican illegal alien who had been employed as a police officer in Maine. ICE arrested Jon Luke Evans after he illegally attempted to buy a gun as part of his job, which triggered an alert with the ATF. Last October, DHS arrested Hanover Park police officer Radule Bojovic, an illegal alien from Montenegro who overstayed his tourist visa by a decade. Governor JB Pritzker had signed an Illinois law allowing non-citizens to become armed police officers. Then-Border Commander Greg Bovino was furious: "It's unbelievable that the state of Illinois and Gov. JB Pritzker would hand an illegal alien a weapon!" That's a felony.
Now, the City of Danbury, Connecticut, has voted to allow noncitizens and DACA recipients to become law enforcement officers.

They’re handing weapons to people to enforce the law who are not even allowed to carry

DACA recipients can't legally posses firearms. That's a no go from the start among other things.

You can’t buy a gun without citizenship papers, but Danbury just green-lit badges and firearms for non-citizens and DACA.

Former LE, we swore an oath to a country, not a paperwork loophole. This isn’t compassion. It’s how you lose the street.
Crazy! Foreign born armed people with badges will now be enforcing laws against American citizens.

Country music star John Rich ponders a citizen being pulled over by a noncitizen:
Do I have to obey the orders of a non-citizen if they pull me over? WTH is going on in this country?? https://t.co/F6TH3cBGJf

Weird people who are for tougher gun laws would vote to have some people that cannot legally own a firearm be given a career that requires it.

How in the world can this be legal? There must be a lawyer or constitutional expert somewhere that can weigh in on this

They are setting Americans up. They can’t tell us there are no qualified Americans for the job. They have illegals in these positions for a reason.

They can’t even make a citizen’s arrest…for obvious reasons.

The people of Connecticut need to sue because how can foreigners enforce the law over legal citizens.

How do you swear an oath to uphold the laws of a country you have not sworn allegiance to?
— JustaPatriot (@_JustaPatriot) September 8, 2026
Is it that difficult to find American citizens to fill those jobs?
