A Belmont, California, police officer who is also an illegal immigrant was arrested last week for raping a woman deemed mentally unfit to consent to sexual intercourse.
The officer, Felipe Gomes of Brazil, was also arrested for domestic violence years before joining law enforcement.
HOLY SHLIT: Felipe Gomes, a NON-CITIZEN working as a POLICE OFFICER in Belmont, CA, was just arrested for R*PING a woman with a mental disorder.

The prior arrest for domestic abuse and the fact that he’s not an American citizen has Californians questioning why Gomes was hired by the Belmont Police Department in the first place.
A 2022 bill signed by Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom repealed the requirement that peace officers, including police, corrections, and highway patrol officers, must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Belmont Police Chief Ken Stenquist boasted about Gomes at the time of his hiring four months ago, saying, “He was in the Brazilian Air Force and part of their Air Force Police. He was a full-time police soldier and left that position when he moved to the United States. He enjoys practicing jiu jitsu and attending church when he’s not working.”
The remark was made despite Chief Stenquist receiving phone calls “from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and East Palo Alto Police warning him that both agencies had rejected Gomes because of his domestic violence arrest in 2017,” according to ABC 7’s I-Team.
Documents detailing the domestic abuse allegations show Gomes’ wife had accused him of striking her in the face, causing massive bruising, and scratching her face.
This disturbing story highlights how Democrat policies are destroying states like California.
