Original Note:
Illinois' 2023 HB 3751 allows non-citizens to be police officers if they are legally authorized to work in the US and can possess firearms under federal law. The arrested officer overstayed his visa, making him undocumented and thus ineligible under the law. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/103/HB/10300HB3751.htm https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-illegal-alien-serving-local-police-officer-suburban-chicago https://www.police1.com/police-recruiting/articles/illinois-opens-police-recruitment-to-non-citizens-myth-busting-house-bill-3751-RUvS1dEkK3Ax5lYP/
