A suburban Chicago police officer was left stunned when ICE agents arrested him after officials discovered he was living in the United States illegally.
Radule Bojovic, of Montenegro, was off duty on Thursday morning when he was approached by ICE and handcuffed in a parking lot in Rolling Meadows.
The cop – who said he ‘loves America’ – admitted to agents that he has been working as a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department since January.
He taken into custody by federal officers during Operation Midway Blitz, which aims to rid Illinois of ‘the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Chicago’.
The Department of Homeland Security said Bojovic had overstayed a B-2 tourist visa, and was supposed to have left the US by March 31, 2015.
However, he was ‘still illegally’ in the country more than a decade later.
Ben Bergquam, founder of FrontlineAmerica.com and host of Law & Border on Real America’s Voice News, was on the scene during Bojovic’s arrest and captured the moment he was cuffed by ICE officers.
When Bergquam asked Bojovic how long he had been a police officer, he replied: ‘January 8 [2025]’.
Bojovic confirmed that when he was hired, he had provided work authorization documents and advised that he was able to carry a firearm on-duty.
