A stunning charge has come from Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, that Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is giving “criminal illegal aliens badges and guns.”
Actually, her comment was, “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?”
The comment came after Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal alien who was operating as an active Illinois police officer.
This illegal alien has medical, dental AND a pension
This is insane. Pritzker employing illegals as police officers. Dead stop, no conspiracy, proven.
His tourist VISA expired a decade ago. Now employed by Hanover Park PD Illinois.
Thankfully, ICE has taken him into custody. pic.twitter.com/fEa5VODkBK— mitrajoon (@mitrajoon246071) October 16, 2025

A report from Fox News said Bojovic “overstayed” his tourist visa by a decade and recently has been working as a police officer. He was “approved” for a pension in January.
The Department of Homeland Security said Bojovic was an illegal immigrant from Montenegro who was working as a sworn police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department.
He was taken into custody during Operation Midway Blitz, targeting illegal immigrants living in Illinois.
McLaughlin added, “It’s a felony for aliens to even possess a firearm — a law enforcement officer who is actively breaking the law. 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.”
The report said his 2025 earnings so far were $205,707.
Pritzker has been actively fighting Trump’s border security measures, and recently sued to block National Guard action in Illinois.
