FULL PRESSER: Cumberland County sheriff addresses ICE's detainment of recruit
Highlights from the beginning:
"I have been informed, around 5pm, that ICE had arrested one of our corrections officer recruits..."
"...our hiring process is pretty rigorous...everyone is required to be verified through an I-9."
"...his [the officer arrested] I-9 suggested that he was able to work in this country till April of 2029..."
(We're hiring people on Visas/temporary immigration status to be POLICE OFFICERS?)
"...because of his straightforward I-9, his was not one that was checked... (by an immigration attorney)"
"...he left for Texas for a hearing on his immigration status, he didn't let us know after the fact and we had some issues with it" *bobbles head while speaking*
"cuz we shoulda known, but as my staff brought it to my attention, are we really... worried about the fact this individual is... trying... to get his immigration papers.... inline. so. he could. become. a legal. citizen?"
*looks left and right at the crowd*
"
The book and the movie, Do. Not. Line. Up."
*rant about how ICE was supposed to only go after criminals "who look like us"*
"...in this particular case, this individual had permission to be working in the state of Maine, we
vetted. him."
"...for some reason, he was picked up last night"
So, to get this straight, the state of Maine hired an illegal to work as a cop? What the fuck? That is literally a foreign actor being a policing agent of our country, is that not the definition of a foreign invasion? On top of it, this guy is acting confused as to why Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining someone who is here illegally? WHY IS NO ONE ASKING QUESTIONS IN THE VIDEO SHOCKED WE HAVE ILLEGALS AND TEMPORARY VISA FOREIGNERS WORKING AS COPS? No matter how pessimistic I can be, it is so much worse than I last thought. This boomer is defending his decision to hire illegals and foreigners and is bashing ICE for doing their job and how they are doing it. Insanity.
