The Department of Justice slapped the Denver Sheriff Department with a
$10,000 fine Monday for the simple infraction of requiring its
applicants to be U.S. citizens during a recent hiring spree.
As part of the settlement, the sheriff’s department will be required
to train its human resources staff to comply with the
anti-discrimination provisions contained within federal immigration
laws. The sheriff department must ensure that its procedures align with
the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and protect the rights of
non-U.S. citizens by not discriminating against them.
“First, I don’t see how the Justice Department can dictate to a
local sheriff that he must consider non-citizens for a law enforcement
officer’s job … It’s absurd.”
“This case reveals the extent to which the Obama administration has
sought to erase immigration laws and blur the lines of immigration
status, to treat LPRs as if they were citizens, and illegal aliens as if
they were here legally, all under the guise of ‘non-discriminatory’
hiring,” Jessica Vaughan, the director of policy studies at the Center
for Immigration Studies, told LifeZette in a statement.
