Senator criticizes non-citizen police law after Hanover Park officer arrest – Center Square

“It’s absolutely irrational to believe that, in the name of diversity, you have to hand off the ability to arrest someone to a non-citizen. It’s just nuts,” said state Sen. Chapin Rose. “Now, there’s other practical aspects because if you’re an illegal citizen, you’re not allowed to have a gun in Illinois. And so there’s also all kinds of additional things with this, essentially, how do you even get a [Firearm Owners Identification] card to get a gun in the first place to be a police officer?”
