A plate identifies a car, not a driver.

Unless you have permissive use or named drivers, the registered person should be driving the car. Besides, it's a good guess: >Hey Maggie >I'm not Maggie. I'm Sarah. Here's my ID. Maggie loaned me her car.

  As if the DHS cares about your ID.

    They might not, but a plaintiff's civil rights attorney care$.

With the protestors entering in rental car license plates of ICE or suspected ICE agents into their own database, I wouldn't want to rent a car anytime soon - the possibility of getting a car previously rented by ICE or suspected ICE, and being assaulted by having whistles blown in my ears, is off-putting.

  you know this sounds like a dystopian storyline. due to the vehicles recent usage: it starts with a rental car trip, an "incidental roadrage" incident while travelling, then the surveillance and whistle blowing starts at a rest stop, and then the complete lockout from any business, lodgings, or financial dealings. no fuel, no food no water... i wonder how the story ends.

  ICE routinely (and illegally) puts on fake plates, claiming sovereign immunity to violate state law.

  It seems easy enough to not cover your face, not look like you're itching to kill someone, and honk your horn in support when you see some protestors. I'd be more worried that they had been smoking meth in the car.

Oh this, 1000 times. I believe some of the protesters are also targeting cars out-of-state plates. I recently had a rental with out-of-state Texas plates, which just gave me another reason to avoid any place where there was ICE activity. Otherwise I'd have to show my passport to one group and I suppose point to my child car seat to the other, just to avoid getting caught in the middle.

In the case of Global Entry you can enter your license plate into your profile to allow using it in the NEXUS lanes heading into the US.
