ICE announces arrest of six illegals with a combined 48 criminal convictions

Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Thursday that they had apprehended for deportation a Montenegrin national who overstayed a B2 tourist visa in 2015 and somehow managed to obtain employment as a sworn officer of the law and provided with a badge, gun, and pension!

Radule Bojovic, the alleged illegal immigrant, just recently completed his time at the officer academy and had matriculated into supervised field training.

Bojovic was celebrated by the Hanover Park department in a post to their Facebook page on August of this year. “Congratulations, Officer Bojovic,” the post begins. “Join us in congratulating Officer Bojovic who graduated today (August 22, 2025) from the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy.”

In the post, Bojovic is pictured alongside Hanover Park Police Department Chief Andrew Johnson and Deputy Chief Matt Riedel.

DHS issued the following statement:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today announced the arrest of Radule Bojovic, an illegal alien from Montenegro, who was working as a sworn police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department in sanctuary state Illinois. Radule Bojovic was encountered during a targeted enforcement action as part of Operation Midway Blitz.

Hanover Park Police Department records confirm, Radule Bojovic was approved by the Pension Fund Board of Trustees in January 2025 and was eligible to receive a starting salary of $78,955.70. Additional records indicate his 2025 earnings cost taxpayers $205,707 including $9,276 for FICA/Medicare taxes.

“Governor J.B. Pritzker doesn’t just allow violent illegal aliens to terrorize Illinois’s communities, he allows illegal aliens to work as sworn police officers. Radule Bojovic violated our nation’s laws and was living ILLEGALLY in the United States for 10 years—what kind of police department gives criminal illegal aliens badges and guns? It’s a felony for aliens to even possess a firearm. A so-called law enforcement officer who is actively breaking the law,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Under President Trump and Secretary Noem ICE is restoring law and order. Criminal illegal aliens have NO PLACE in our communities, especially on our police forces.”
