Giannoulias to ICE: Don’t mess with Illinois license plates

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias issued a warning to federal agents on Wednesday for allegedly tampering with Illinois license plates while carrying out deportation efforts.

According to Giannoulias’ office, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is seen on video telling a bystander, who was filming their vehicle’s license plates, that, “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.”

“Swapping out license plates or tampering with them to avoid or conceal detection is illegal, unsafe and will not be tolerated in Illinois,” Giannoulias said. “No one, including federal agents, is above the law, and we intend to hold them accountable, especially while driving on our roadways. This is a matter of public safety and protecting the wellbeing of our communities.”

Illinois state law forbids displaying a license plate on a vehicle that was not authorized for use, or obscuring or modifying license plates in any way.

The Secretary of State’s office has created a Plate Watch Hotline to allow residents to report instances of license plate tampering.

To make a report, call the Secretary of State’s Plate Watch Hotline at (312) 814-1730 or email platewatch@ilsos.gov.
