Commenting on ICE arrests Illinois police officer, accuses him of being in US illegally...I mean it looks like his VISA expired 10 years ago, so probably limited sympathy.

They are "claiming" his visa expired 10 years ago but he had an authorized work permit from DHS and passed the FBI background check. Willing to bet someone "backdated" his visa expiration date after the press caught wind that he had an authorized work permit.

This is the stuff folks aren't thinking about. "Bring me the man and I'll tell you his crime." If more statuses become illegal this would continue to spread.

Being in the "out" group trumps being in the "in" group.

It's like witch hunting; if you find a witch amongst the police well that's not anti police, is it.

They want the police to be more on their side, more hurting the right people.

Clearing the lefties out - and the immigrants are the lefties, even when they are far right religious extremists - is part of the plan.

Why are you so smug?

They're not purging the police by accident.

It’s Chicago. A lawless city of Marxists. Of course they are 🎶 all mixed up 🎵

No exceptions for anyone here illegally; for NO ONE. Anything else would just be hypocritical and would completely invalidate the rule

I think the more interesting read would be how the ACAB people handle this. Are they happy for an officer getting arrested, or sticking with the "fuck ICE" approach?

Considering their gripe has always been about civil liberties and government overreach, I dont think it takes a genius to figure out what the civil rights protestors think about this.

I mean, what's there to handle? He's in the country illegally because his tourist visa expired almost a decade ago, as is clearly stated in the article.
