In a stunning example of the immigration chaos that President Trump inherited, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an illegal immigrant fraudster who was just seven days away from graduating from the New Orleans Police Department academy and hitting the streets as a sworn officer.

Larry Temah, 46, an illegal alien from Cameroon, had successfully conned his way through the entire police academy program after being hired by NOPD in June. The arrest was confirmed by Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick following the ICE operation that pulled this fraudster out of the academy.

Think about that for a moment, Patriots. This illegal immigrant was one week—ONE WEEK—away from carrying a badge, a gun, and the authority to arrest American citizens. How many other departments across the country have been infiltrated by illegals using fraudulent documents?

The Biden Legacy of Open Borders Chaos

This disturbing incident is yet another example of the catastrophic failure of the Biden regime's open borders policies. For four years, Joe Biden and his radical administration allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into our communities, many using fake identities and fraudulent documents.

Now President Trump and his team are left to clean up this mess through the largest mass deportation operation in American history. Cases like Temah's prove exactly why these deportations are not just necessary—they're essential for our national security.

"This is what happens when you have no border security and no proper vetting," one ICE source told reporters. "We're finding illegal aliens in positions they should never have been allowed to reach."

How many more Larry Temahs are out there right now? How many have already slipped through the cracks and are currently serving in sensitive positions across our government, our police forces, and our military?

Trump's Deportation Machine in Action

Fortunately, President Trump's deportation apparatus is working exactly as promised. ICE agents are hunting down fraudsters and criminals who thought they could game our system indefinitely.

Every American should be asking their local police chief: How do you know all your officers are legally authorized to be in this country? Because clearly, the vetting process has been a complete joke.

This is what happens when you prioritize diversity hiring over thorough background checks. Public safety should always come first!

Couldn't agree more. There's no substitute for doing proper due diligence on every candidate.

As a retired police officer, this is absolutely infuriating. We take an oath to uphold the law, not break it from day one. The integrity of law enforcement depends on proper vetting.

Thank God they caught this before he was given a badge and gun! Makes you wonder how many others have slipped through the cracks in our background check system.

Exactly what I was thinking. If they caught this one just days before, how many didn't they catch?
