It’s ?Rome & Juliet set in the USA in the 21st century.
I suggest it would strengthen dramatic tension of the story if he was undocumented. ?So there is always hanging over him and his family the threat of being deported. ? And her parents, when they discover the affair, could precipitate that crisis by turning him in.
Which would be the modern day equivalent of Romeo being banished from Verona. ?Only the stakes are higher because not only is he deported but so is his family — it’s a death sentence for his love and his family’s hopes and dreams.
In fact, if you want to amp up the tension even more, make his family undocumented Mexicans who fled to the US from the civil strife and gang wars of Mexican drug cartels. ?So being deported would also a literal death sentence for him and the family.?

An original ?issue remains; ?why should an audience care? ?Why should they want them to succeed?
Given the negative image of the police in the USA, what can you say about them that would give an audience a reason to be on their side, to root for them? ?They deserve to be fired — heck, tried, convicted and sentenced to jail for the violations of the law, abuse of authority. ?They are ?outlaws, scoundrels.
What is their implied character arc?
Or do wish to portray them as rogues who by pulling off some 3rd Act heroics are able to get away with their abuses, don’t have to fess up to their misdeeds, don’t have pay for their crimes?
What dramatic theme are you exploring with these rogue cops, anyway?
