DOJ Fines Denver Sheriff Dept For Only Hiring U.S. Citizens for Deputy Positions
Law Newz ^ | 11/22/2016 | Rachel Stockman

Posted on 11/22/2016 7:44:34 AM PST by detective

The Justice Department reached a settlement this week with the Denver Sheriff Department, after they allegedly discriminated against work-authorized immigrants by only considering the applications of U.S. citizens.

“The Denver Sheriff Department discriminated based on citizenship status by requiring applicants for deputy sheriff positions to be U.S. citizens and publishing job postings with U.S. citizenship requirements, in violation of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act),” a statement from the DOJ reads.  INA prohibits employers from limiting jobs to U.S. citizens (except where they are required to do so by law).

Unfortunately there’s nothing left of the old extreme left that’s considered extreme by the left anymore.

It’s how a Soviet-era holdover useful idiot like Sanders can even be considered for POTUS.

Instead of harrying communists out of all offices of Trust as should be done the left, notably since McGovern, have moved them in.

So now they, defining the old far left as the new center, now call unrepentant Alinskyites “right of center”.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

Hmmm... Non-citizen arresting citizens...

Disgusting. It's just wrong. Jan 20th, can't come fast enough.

Seems to me that law enforcement positions SHOULD be restricted to citizens.

Green card holders can’t serve on juries. They should not be allowed to serve in law enforcement. We need to change the laws.

We’ve been heading toward 3rd World Country status for some time. The changing of the guard can’t come soon enough.

Whoever is the DOJ official responsible for this, they need to be identified and fired, and then blacklisted. I would suggest they need to go to prison, but I can think of no legal means to put them in prison, but that is where they ought to go.

In whatever manner it is possible to make their life into hell, that method needs to be pursued by the US Government after they are fired.

Ignore the DOJ and don’t pay any fine.???

Wouldn’t it be more fun to have the County Seize property through Eminent Domain using the “KELO” decision as justification for Economic Gain, and begin Seizing Property of FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and maybe even the Feds themselves. Sell the Properties and use the profits to pay the settlement.

I see NO LEGAL REASON why this can not be Done. The USSC already said it was OK.

Read elsewhere: “More than 40 U.S. states currently have laws that in some capacity restrict non-citizens from being police, but Colorado is not one of them. The department says it was simply unaware that limiting employment to citizens was a violation of federal law.”

Investigations are in order. Jail for Obama and his gang of thugs. He should be so proud of his legacy.

I would think very few green-card holders would be interested. Most of them are in professional jobs.

How the hell can an alien enforce U.S. law and swear to uphold the Constitution?

Did it occur that the Denver Sheriff’s Office hired the best qualified candidates, and it is just a coincidence that they all happened to be U.S. Citizens. s/

“work-authorized immigrants”

Very creative....but no matter how you slice it they’re still illegal aliens.
