ICE arrested Old Orchard Beach Police Department reserve Officer Jon Luke Evans, of Jamaica, on July 25, as part of the agency’s effort to step up immigration enforcement. Officials with the town and police department have said federal authorities previously told them Evans was legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Evans’ arrest touched off a dispute between Old Orchard Beach officials and ICE. Police Chief Elise Chard has said the department was notified by federal officials that Evans was legally permitted to work in the country, and that the town submitted information via the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program prior to Evans’ employment. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin then accused the town of “reckless reliance” on the department’s E-Verify program.
Yes. Let’s deport people gainfully employed, paying taxes, and obeying the law. Makes sense.
It’s just because he’s the wrong color.
It’s because they don’t want immigrants of any color. Didn’t they send a white NZ and her son in an ice facility just because she crossed into Canada and back to send her family to the airport?
That’s because of shitty Elon musk back deals. No other white nations is getting preferential treatment (except Israel of course)
Not only obeying the law, but literally actively helping to uphold the law.
Hey GOP, Leave our friends & neighbors alone!
“Reckless reliance” on our own software lol
the everify submission happened a whole year ago too, from another article.
So very weird.
Yeah. “Weird.”
Reckless reliance on not focusing on his skin color.
This guy’s immigration status is perplexing to me.
He came on a weeklong visa in 2023 but managed to get employment authorization (this usually takes a year+ based on personal experience post-pandemic.)
This article has way more info. The background check from buying a gun is what caused this guy to be deported, not him being hired as a reserve cop a whole fucking year ago. https://bostontimes.org/2025/08/19/jon-luke-evans-former-reserve-police-officer-in-maine-faces-immigration-detention-after-visa-violation/
It’s fucking hilarious when the leopards eat their own faces. It’s just too bad they can’t leave the rest of us alone.

So … don’t use it then?

How dare they rely on the validity of results coming out of the program we tell them to rely on?!
Always gonna be someone with a dark skin tone
The system mclaughlin wants to move to is just the family guy skin color swatch.
So nice of them to give this one the option to choose. Guess he was kinda white, eh?
