Illinois state officials have given national rental car companies official notice that immigration enforcement agents using their vehicles are not allowed to swap the rental’s assigned license plates for other plates to disguise the vehicles, and if they do, the rental car companies could be held liable.
According to documents obtained by NBC News via the Freedom of Information Act, the Illinois secretary of state’s office sent letters to at least 19 national car rental headquarters stating that they had received public complaints of immigration agents switching license plates on rented vehicles when Operation Midway Blitz, an extensive government deportation operation, was active in the Chicago area.
The letters were sent to Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, Hertz, Ace and other vehicle rental companies. They did not respond to requests for comment.
JB Pritzker is actually cool and does a lot of good for Illinois. He can get guillotined last.
He’s “cool enough” to not fuck more shit up, but clearly won’t actually do anything to help.
Loves getting his name out in the press and making threats, but won’t actually do anything.
Won’t even prevent Illinois law enforcement for working with ice for fucks sake.
It’s insane the billionaire owned media is able to convince so many people that a multi-billionaire refusing to do anything to help is something to be celebrated just because his boot is calmly on our throats instead of actively stomping.
If Pritzker wasn’t in office, we could have someone willing to fight instead.
