The sheriff's department - the biggest sheriff's office in Colorado - will pay a $10,000 fine after it required applications for deputy sheriff jobs to be U.S. citizens when hiring from the beginning of 2015 through March 2016. The department went on a hiring spree of 200 deputies as part of its ongoing reform.

The department will also have to go through old applications to find applicants who were eliminated because of their citizenship status and reconsider them for future jobs.

    I would think that citizenship would be the number one requirement for law enforcement.

    DOJ (just to show you how far their vision is obscured by fecal matter) is ignoring their own laws. To be a police officer you must be a citizen.

    This will go nowhere and will die on the vine.

    Deputies of a US LEO agency must be US Citizens?

    Huh? You mean Chi-Com's, Talibanians, ISIS's, etc., can't be US LEO's? Guess that rules out Nazi's too?

    What are we coming to?

    OK- why does a deputy need to be a citizen?

    Well it goes back to that the sheriff is the head of the county in law enforcement and basic rights of the county government being in a State government with state rights. The very Idea of an Alien being hired to enforce laws over citizens is Un-American!

    Just like you can opt out of the draft when becoming a citizen in The USA now! It's Un-American and NWO mentality! Like when OBama is when he says that we have become nationalist thugs now! He can kiss my #@&^*! He is a communist NWO flunky.

    Because the citizens have made the rules that say so.

    And that is enough.

    It is...we require you to be a US Citizen if you want a sworn position. I believe Virginia State Code requires one to be a US citizen in order to work as sworn LE, I know the Virginia State Police require an applicant to be a US citizen.

    I worked for two LE agencies in my 30 years and they plus all others that I know of in Calif have a citizenship requirement for sworn LEO positions.

    Doesn't one have to have a felony free criminal record to be in law enforcement? Doesn't an alien have to have a work visa to hold a job in the US ? Isn't being in this country illegally a crime ? Wouldn't one of the 3 above preclude them from hiring a non citizen ?

    Did the DOJ tell them they could not block ILLEGAL aliens or ALL aliens? If the person is a legal immigrant, working towards legal citizenship, and has a valid work permit... what the heck, hire him.

    Unless there is some sort of Federal statute that says a LEO must be a citizen, then DOJ has a case because Denver SO is using citizenship status as a barrier to employment.

    I'm not saying I agree with that, but it is what it is.

    Well they are likely to have many states and thousands of Agencies nationwide to go after.

    I'm glad you took proper precautions before you asked the question.

    To become a LEO you must take an oath (or affirmation) to defend and support The Constitution Of The United States Of America.

    Had someone asked me 25 minutes ago if law officers needed to be U.S. citizen. I'd have said, What a stupid question.

    Unbelieveable. Trump was right, if this doesn't get fixed now, it will never happen.

    The reason that I asked- I have administered THIS oath of enlistment to a number of young people that were NOT citizens- they were permanent residents of the US that had enlisted. Resident LEGAL aliens.

    "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

    And yeah- just checked the website for the VA State Police and several local VA depts.- and you are correct- they all require applicants must be a citizen by the time they are sworn in.

    For what it's worth, you don't need to be a citizen to serve in the military.

    If they serve honorably for 4 years they should move to the front of the line for citizenship.

    Strongly agree. If you want to see some of these ceremonies, go to YouTube and search on "citizenship ceremony US military". There are LOTS of them and they are very inspirational to watch. Some of these guys and gals have just returned from combat deployments and are still wanting to raise their hands and become citizens. [:)] THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. NOT BY SNEAKING ACROSS THE BORDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!![:(!]

    The "Department of Justice" under Obama is utterly corrupt. These are the same geniuses who put Ferguson under Federal control following the shooting of Michael Brown. After he strong arm robbed a Pakistani store clerk and then, grabbed the gun of a police officer, and punched him in the face.

    Leftist politics has totally taken over the DOJ.
    Betcha Trump will sweep this department clean in short order.

    The cleansing need to start with the Civil Rights Division of DOJ.
