'Big problem': Trump's ICE under investigation for illegally tampering with license plates

President Donald Trump's immigration agents received a stern warning from an Illinois official on Thursday after it was discovered that the agents are tampering with their license plates to avoid detection, according to a new report.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, a Democrat, unveiled a new initiative this week called the “Plate Watch” hotline, which asks residents to report times when they witness Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents switching out their license plates, The Guardian reported.

"I have a big problem with that," Giannoulias said in a video posted on X. "Swapping out Illinois license plates on Illinois-registered vehicles is illegal, and as Secretary of State, I have zero tolerance for this type of illegal activity. We are investigating these allegations as we speak."

"No one, including federal agents, is above the law, and we intend to hold them accountable, especially while driving on our roadways," he added. "This is a matter of public safety and protecting the well-being of our communities."

This is not the first time Trump's ICE agents have been accused of illegal activity. A judge in Illinois recently ruled that ICE agents have to wear body cameras because they were found to be indiscriminately shooting pepper balls and other nonlethal weapons against protesters, according to the report.
