The New Orleans Police Department gave a gun to a police recruit who is an illegal alien from Cameroon, and what’s worse, doesn’t even have a phony work authorization.
Even worse than that, he refused to show up at his immigration court proceedings three times after his conditional residency was revoked for FRAUD, and was ordered deported in absentia.
Somehow this illegal alien lawbreaker was allowed to become a New Orleans Police Department recruit and was one week away from graduating.
Here’s more from Bill Melugin:
NEW: ICE confirms to @foxnews that they’ve arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit who they say is an illegal alien from Cameroon with an active deportation order & no work authorization, & they say he was illegally given a gun by New Orleans PD.
ICE says 46-year-old Larry Temah was one week away from graduating the New Orleans PD academy when they arrested him.
They say Temah first entered the US legally in 2015 on a visitor’s visa and was granted conditional residency after marrying a US citizen in 2016. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied to due to fraud.
ICE says Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times, but never did, disregarding US laws, which resulted in an immigration judge ordering him deported in absentia, resulting in his active deportation order.
DHS statement to FOX:
“This illegal alien from Cameroon, Larry Temah, is not only breaking the law with every step he takes in this country illegally, but the New Orleans Police Department hired him and issued him a firearm – what kind of law enforcement department gives criminal illegal aliens guns and badges? It’s a FELONY for illegal aliens to even possess a firearm. Sanctuary cities like New Orleans ignore ICE detainers and are protecting illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.”
It’s absolutely insane that any law enforcement agency would hire an illegal alien, much less give them a gun. Unreal.
