Hanover Park Policia official detained by ICE returns to duty, court order confirms his status.
The Hanover Park Police Department announced on Tuesday that Radule Bojovic, a Montenegrin-born officer, has resumed full duties after being detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in October. The officer's return to work was made possible by a court order confirming his eligibility to continue working for the federal government.
Earlier this year, Bojovic was hired by the department without any issues, but his employment was subject to scrutiny due to his immigration status. However, he obtained a valid Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which allowed him to work legally.
FBI background checks and Illinois State Police screenings also cleared Bojovic of any past criminal convictions, according to officials. He was returned to active duty on Monday and will receive back pay for the time he was out on administrative leave.
The decision comes after a court order confirmed that Bojovic's immigration status is valid, allowing him to continue working as a police officer in Hanover Park.

, I guess it's all about due process and following the law. If he did everything right, why not? 
Can't blame ICE for trying to follow protocol either...this is all pretty standard stuff. Not really sure what's going on with immigration laws tho...feels like there's always some kind of catch-22

I'm so glad to hear that Radule Bojovic has been cleared to return to his job at the Hanover Park Police Department! It's amazing how things can work out in the end, right? I mean, who would've thought that a court order would be the key to him getting back on duty? 
It just goes to show that even when it seems like the odds are against us, sometimes we get some unexpected good news. And isn't it great that all the checks and screenings he went through were okay? No past convictions or anything like that! That's a huge relief for him and his family. And he gets his back pay too? Win-win! 
. On a more positive note, Bojovic's story might help raise awareness about the process for people with uncertain immigration status trying to get back on track 
. I mean, seriously, a court order says he's good to go? Sounds like a solid plan for law enforcement, not some shady operation. And now Radule Bojovic is back on the job, which is great, because who needs accountability when you're serving and protecting... unless you're an immigrant with a questionable past 
. Anyway, all's well that ends well, I guess? Back pay for time off, yay 
.
I mean, it's not like anyone's arguing that he shouldn't be able to work or anything. It's all about following procedure and making sure he's good to go for his EAD. And, of course, the FBI background checks and Illinois State Police screenings had to run first to make sure he didn't have any skeletons in his closet... which thankfully, it seems like he doesn't. 
Can you believe this? So, a cop gets detained by ICE because of his immigration status, and now he's back to work without any issues? I mean, it's not like the department was worried about him being a foreigner or anything... 
. One can't help but wonder how many individuals like Bojovic are impacted by similar uncertainties, making it all the more crucial that such cases be handled with sensitivity and attention to detail 
.

Plus, it's kinda weird that he had to go on admin leave while this whole thing was happening... like, didn't anyone think about how it would affect his job or something? 
Bojovic seems like a good guy, and he's been cleared by all the necessary checks, so why not just leave him alone?
