ICE Arrests Illegal Alien POLICE OFFICER After He Attempted to Buy a Gun – Twitchy

July 28, 2025

That’s some headline, but according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, it’s accurate. In Maine, they apparently hire illegal aliens as police officers to enforce the law. ICE arrested Jon Luke Evans after he illegally attempted to buy a gun as part of his job. Nothing about this sounds real, but Melugin lays it out in a very long post.

BREAKING: ICE confirms to @FoxNews they’ve arrested a Jamaican illegal alien who is employed as a police officer in Maine after he illegally attempted to buy a gun, which triggered an alert to ATF.

The post continues:

… hired as a cop by Old Orchard Beach PD in ME, and admitted to trying to purchase the gun as part of his job.

ICE says he first entered the U.S. lawfully by flying into Miami on 9/24/23, but never left on his scheduled departure flight on 10/1/2023, overstaying his visa ever since.

Patricia Hyde, the Field Office Director for ICE Boston, which arrested Evans, released a blistering statement to FOX, slamming Evans’ hiring as a police officer:

“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm. Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer. The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our New England communities.”

When are we going to start perp-walking some of the employers who are unlawfully giving these illegals jobs?

Make Americans afraid to hire foreigners without ascertaining their immigration status first.

If no one would hire illegals, that’d take away a big incentive to come.

How many other small town police agencies are not running background checks on their officers?

This is dangerous practice.

Are the police that hard up for recruits that they’re hiring lawbreakers to enforce the law? This makes me sick.

Who hired him? They broke the law. Will anything be done, or will we just let this one slide?

How does this happen? 🤷‍♂️

That office needs to be investigated. They clearly have issues.

This one will be interesting to follow. 👀🍿👀🍿

So illegals are police officers now. Thats just great.

The police department would be a good case for the @DOJCrimDiv to investigate. Until this administration goes after the employers, the illegal immigrants will remain here.

They should be stripped of all certifications and taken over by the state police or sheriff’s office.

Can you imagine being an American citizen and getting pulled over and given a ticket by an illegal immigrant?

Are there other countries where you can just land one day and decide to become a police officer? That seems sketchy af 🤷🏼‍♂️ No wonder they all flood our nation I guess, we’re a bunch of naive suckers.

How the hell does an illegal alien get hired to be a police officer?! WTF.

That police department has some explaining to do. Democrats assured us that illegals were coming here to pick crops and clean hotel rooms, not enforce the law.
