The license plate checkers are clearly abusing their access, but likely providing license plates to them is covered by 1A. Commuters should also be fine, if there was a law against following strangers then a lot of divorce detectives would be out of work.
There's some complexity here. Many states require private detectives to be licensed. Also there are specific laws against stalking federal officers.
If a bad actor were to start submitting the license plates of Federal Judges and Clerks as verified ICE, the whole system would be shut down quickly.

The major issue here isn't even about immigration.
The de jure legal situation is that federal law is supreme and the federal government has the right to enforce it. If they states are interfering then the feds have some extreme powers to make them comply, eg Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy deploying the National Guard to enforce school desegregation.
The de facto legal situation is that left wing mayors and governors are allowed to rule with a form of Bigmanism and nullify federal laws as they please.
Courts have been toeing the legal line by blocking mild enforcement when insisting they haven't invalidating federal supremacy because the feds can still do some form of extreme enforcement.
People in the Trump admin view the current situation as untenable. They want to get a legal court record covering as much of it as possible. The legal record does matter even if Minnesota courts find ways to block any convictions. Without a legal record higher courts will simply pretend it didn't happen. With it they'll be stuck trying to create some kind of legal principle that can be reviewed.

The upside is day jobs for activists.
So I think I'm wrapping up my minecraft llm api project for now. I've put a bunch of work into it and I've got it doing what I wanted... you can create builds from an llm. The build system keeps track of past builds, so you can have the llm review what was done and make additions later.
I'm lacking ideas about what to do with it next. I think I need other people to give it a try so I can see what they do with it. I have a demo server up if anyone is interested. You'll need a Claude subscription or some api tokens with another llm, it's really just llm connectivity so without that it's just a Minecraft server.
I think it'd be great if I could get a streamer to play around with it. But I think it's time to go looking for a new project.
