| DOJ fines Denver Sheriff Dept. for excluding noncitizens when hiring |
| 2016-11-23 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Denver Sheriff Department will accept a penalty from the Department of Justice after a federal probe found it wrongly made U.S. citizenship a job requirement during a recent hiring spree. 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. The Justice Department made the announcement on Monday, saying the sheriff's department violated the Immigration and Nationality Act without having an exemption. |

| #7 So the Denver sheriff accepted the penalty but can he drag his feet a few months before he actually pays the penalty? |

| #6 I guess that means veterans don't get any preference for their service in Colorado - the Dope state. |

| #2 Non-USCITS to "uphold the U.S. Constituion?" I detect a bit of a contradiction here: Law Enforcement Oath of Honor is recommended as by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as symbolic statement of commitment to ethical behavior: On my honor, I will never betray my badge1, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution2 my community3 and the agency I serve |
