During the investigation, undercover agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement paid $265 to have a modification chip, a hard drive and 77 pirated games installed on an Xbox, according to the criminal complaint.

This modification may be illegal. But what does ICE have to do with modifying X-boxes? This appears to have happened in the United States. Aren't there some illegal aliens they should be catching?

That's Immigration and CUSTOMS Enforcement. Selling hacked toys is a trade issue (potentially high dollar too) and that would explain the ICE involvement.
