In a stunning revelation that underscores the dangers of lax immigration enforcement in Democrat-run states, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Border Czar Tom Homan has arrested a Jamaican illegal alien who was shockingly employed as a police officer in Maine. Jon Luke Evans, 33, was busted after attempting to purchase a firearm illegally, triggering an alert to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This incident, exploding across X and conservative media, highlights how blue state policies enable criminals to infiltrate law enforcement, arming them with badges and guns to potentially terrorize American citizens. Evans, who entered the U.S. lawfully via Miami International Airport on September 24, 2023, as a visitor, overstayed his visa after missing his scheduled departure on October 1, 2023. Instead of leaving, he embedded himself in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, where the local police department hired him as an officer.
Not only did they employ him, but they also issued him a department firearm, granting him authority to enforce laws he himself was breaking. As ICE Boston Field Office Director Patricia Hyde blasted in a statement, “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.”The arrest came to light when Evans tried to buy a personal gun from a licensed dealer, admitting it was for his job. This flagged federal databases, leading ATF to tip off ICE. Agents from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston swiftly detained him on July 28, 2025, in Old Orchard Beach. Evans now faces removal proceedings and potential federal charges for unlawful firearm possession as an illegal alien—a felony under U.S. law.
Hyde emphasized ICE’s commitment to public safety: “ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our New England communities. ”This case has ignited fury on X, where MAGA influencers and conservative voices are calling out the absurdity. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin broke the story on X, detailing Evans’ visa overstay and the PD’s egregious oversight. “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,” Melugin posted, amassing over 19,000 likes and thousands of reposts. Users like
@DiamondandSilk echoed the outrage: “NEW: ICE Catches Illegal Alien Working As A Police Officer In Blue State. #DiamondandSilk,” with a meme highlighting the irony.
Why are illegal aliens allowed to serve as cops? Conservatives point to Democrat-driven policies that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over national security and merit. Maine, a solidly blue state with sanctuary leanings, exemplifies this. Under Governor Janet Mills and progressive lawmakers, hiring practices have loosened, allowing non-citizens to slip through vetting processes. The Old Orchard Beach PD’s failure to conduct proper background checks—despite Evans’ visa status being verifiable—smacks of negligence or willful blindness. As The Gateway Pundit noted, “Only in a Democrat-run state can an illegal immigrant get a badge, a gun, and the authority to arrest American citizens. Democrats are perfectly fine with illegal aliens enforcing our laws—as long as they vote blue.”Tom Homan, Trump’s no-nonsense Border Czar, has repeatedly warned about such vulnerabilities. In recent interviews, Homan blasted sanctuary jurisdictions for shielding criminals, vowing mass deportations to restore order.
“We have over 20 million illegal aliens in this country,” he told Fox News earlier this month, stressing ICE’s understaffing amid the Biden-era influx. This arrest aligns with Homan’s aggressive stance: since January 20, 2025, 70% of ICE arrests target criminal aliens, with the rest posing national security threats. Hyde’s statement echoes Homan’s rhetoric, slamming blue states for enabling “criminal alien threats.”The incident fuels broader conservative critiques of blue state chaos. Maine’s progressive policies, including driver’s licenses for illegals and resistance to ICE cooperation, create havens for fraud. As Proud Elephant posted on X, “BREAKING: ICE Catches Illegal Alien Working As A Police Officer In Blue State,” with thousands engaging. Not the Bee quipped, “ICE arrests illegal alien hired as police officer in Maine after he attempted to buy gun,” underscoring the farce. Western Journal detailed how Evans’ overstay went unnoticed, blaming lax enforcement.
This isn’t isolated. Conservatives on X recall similar outrages, like illegal aliens impersonating officers or blue cities hiring non-citizens amid police shortages. The Blaze shared a video: “ICE has arrested an illegal alien from Jamaica who was employed as a POLICE OFFICER in Maine.” Twitchy mocked the situation: “ICE Arrests Illegal Alien POLICE OFFICER After He Attempted to Buy a Gun.”MAGA supporters are losing patience with such breaches, demanding accountability. As one X user fumed, “Democrats have gone FAR off the deep end, they’re giving illegal aliens the power to arrest YOU.” Homan’s ICE is stepping up, but conservatives argue it’s time to defund sanctuaries and impeach enablers. This arrest is a win, but it exposes a rotten system where illegals wield power over citizens. Under Trump and Homan, expect more takedowns to Make America Safe Again.

ICE says Jon Luke Evans, who is in the U.S. illegally as a visa overstay, was hired as a cop by Old Orchard Beach PD in ME, and admitted to trying to purchase the gun as part of his job.

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.
