It’s just being reported by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin that ICE just arrested an illegal alien who was working as a police officer.

The funny thing is that this illegal alien cop wasn’t even on their radar until he tried to buy a gun.

Here’s the details from Melugin:

ICE confirms to @FoxNews they’ve arrested a Jamaican illegal alien who is employed as a police officer in Maine after he illegally attempted to buy a gun, which triggered an alert to ATF.

ICE says Jon Luke Evans, who is in the U.S. illegally as a visa overstay, was hired as a cop by Old Orchard Beach PD in ME, and admitted to trying to purchase the gun as part of his job.

ICE says he first entered the U.S. lawfully by flying into Miami on 9/24/23, but never left on his scheduled departure flight on 10/1/2023, overstaying his visa ever since.

Patricia Hyde, the Field Office Director for ICE Boston, which arrested Evans, released a blistering statement to FOX, slamming Evans’ hiring as a police officer:

“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm. Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer. The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our New England communities.”

Unreal. I think the DOJ needs to investigate this police department and get to the bottom of how and why this happened, and then pursue criminal or legal action.
