Illinois Officials Say Texas Breached Abortion Protection Law by Accessing License‑Plate Data


Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has launched an investigation after discovering that the Johnson County, Texas Sheriff's Office accessed data from over 80,000 Illinois ALPR cameras (automated license plate readers) in a search related to a woman suspected of having a self‑administered abortion. This action violated the state's 2023 “shield law” (HB 4664), which prohibits sharing license‑plate reader data with out‑of‑state agencies to track abortion seekers or undocumented immigrants. In response, ALPR provider Flock Safety has been directed to block dozens of external agencies, and Illinois is implementing audits to enforce the privacy protections.

Why it matters:
This incident underscores ongoing threats to the privacy and safety of abortion seekers. Especially in the post‑Roe environment, it highlights how Illinois’ protections are being tested in practice. Officials from pro‑choice organizations are closely monitoring the investigation and advocating for stronger enforcement of the shield law. 

A Pro-Life argument: 

The use of Illinois license-plate data to track out-of-state abortion activity underscores the moral and legal tension between state “shield laws” and the responsibility to uphold laws protecting unborn life. Pro-life advocates argue that if a state like Texas has laws restricting abortion, it must investigate potential violations, even across state lines. Shielding such activity in Illinois effectively creates a sanctuary for abortion tourism and undermines states' rights to enforce protections for the unborn. Furthermore, pro-life supporters contend that privacy laws should not be used to conceal acts that would otherwise be illegal in many jurisdictions.

When the federal government shut down and the Department of Education went dark, liberal media outlets and union leaders like Randi Weingarten rushed to declare disaster. They claimed schools would collapse and blamed President Trump for the chaos. But here in Kane County, parents saw the truth: schools kept running, teachers kept teaching, and students kept learning. The shutdown didn’t break education—it revealed how little Washington actually contributes to our classrooms. For decades, teachers unions and their allies in D.C. have insisted that states can’t manage education without federal oversight. But the shutdown proved otherwise. Funding for programs like Title I and IDEA continued to flow through established state-run systems. The Department of Education paused administrative tasks, not the actual learning. In reality, our schools are governed and funded locally, and the federal bureaucracy often adds more red tape than value.  This moment is a wake-up call for parents in Kane County and across America. The Department of Education was born from a political deal, not a need for better schooling. Teachers unions have used it to push ideology and silence parents. But now, with federal interference temporarily out of the way, families are reclaiming control. The unions may panic, but we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done—supporting our kids, standing up for our values, and ensuring our schools reflect the priorities of our community. https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/09/720/405/randi-weingarten-speaks-at-event.png?ve=1&tl=1
