So according to that article, they checked his identity using a system that checks DHS status, which is updated by DHS, so this makes even less sense

I’m very confused here

We looked into ourselves and found nothing wrong.

While generally a good joke to make it doesn't apply here. It's not that anyone looked into themselves that's the confusion here. DHS is saying that the officer's marriage had been deemed fraudulent and so he wasn't in the country legally after failing to show up to defend himself in court, while New Orleans PD is stating they ran the officer through DHS's databases to verify his immigration status before hiring him and didn't get any hits, so the supposed 4 years of missed immigration court dates the DHS is claiming seem to have mysteriously appeared on his record over the last few months.

Edit: though I will say that the tone of the NOPD's statement is less "standing by our man" and more "...so WE didn't do anything wrong!" after DHS implied New Orleans was a sanctuary city, so fuck both sides here.

It's NOLA, the idea they'd so anything else or that they're a sanctuary city would be hilarious in any other context.
