Two officers with the Detroit Police Department were suspended without pay for 30 days on Thursday for calling Customs and Border Protection agents on two separate occasions that resulted in the agents taking suspects into federal custody.
A Detroit Police sergeant and officer were accused by Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison of breaking department policy when they called Border Patrol agents during traffic stops on December 16 and February 9, ABC’s Detroit affiliate WXYZ reported. Bettison pushed to fire the officers, but the Board of Police Commissioners voted on Thursday to suspend the cops without pay. The officers were initially suspended with pay on February 12.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement responded to the development and told the suspended officers in a post on X, “We have a place for you, patriots.” Under its message, ICE posted the link to where people can apply to work for the agency.
Watch:
These two officers should 100% apply and get out of that insane department. Being suspended for contacting Customs and Border Protection because they couldn’t identify ILLEGAL ALIENS is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Clearly, their police chief is an idiot.
Police officers are supposed to uphold the laws of the land—whether they are politically correct or not. If someone is stopped for a crime and it is discovered during that process they are here illegally, ICE should be involved. Full stop.
I hope the next update to this story is that ICE gains two new officers.
