Matt Gagnon and Geronimo discuss the case of John Luke Evans, a reserve officer in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, who was arrested by ICE for overstaying his visa. Evans, who attempted to purchase a firearm, was vetted through the E-Verify system, which confirmed his work authorization. However, DHS criticized the police department for relying solely on E-Verify, claiming it violated federal law. Town officials maintained they followed proper procedures, but faced criticism for not conducting thorough background checks. The conversation highlights the complexities and presumptions involved in the case, with both federal and local officials at odds over the handling of Evans’ status.
