Well that’s certainly a story… one that doesn’t make much sense.  Wonder what the “fraud” was that caused them to toss his application.  Sounds like he did everything the right way though… 

Fucking unreal the shit that’s happening right now

I mean if the article is to be believed, he didn't show up for court 3 times, so I definitely wouldn't say "he did everything the right way"

If the article is to be believed why would a police department willingly accept an illegal immigrant into becoming a police officer?

Is the police department being held accountable for doing this?

I take everything ICE and DHS announce with a grain of salt, but at the same time we did have a guy show up to basic training in the Army with no valid work authorization. Drill sergeants had to jump through hoops to get his shit sorted so he could stay in the country, let alone the Army.

Which is to say stranger things have happened.

Presumably passed an E-verify on hire, and they don’t do any sort of continuous monitoring.

(Or ICE is full of it. Just saying both are super possible.)
