The law is found within the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.), at Section 274(a)(1)(A)(ii).
In order to convict someone under this section of the law, the prosecutors would need to show that:
the defendant transported or attempted to transport a noncitizen within the U.S.
the noncitizen was in the U.S. in violation of U.S. law (as would be the case with any undocumented person)
the defendant was aware that the noncitizen was in the U.S. unlawfully and acted in reckless disregard of this fact, and
the defendant acted willfully in furtherance of the noncitizen's legal violation.

The blue states should do their best to vet these groups and help them to citizenship so they can increase the Democratic voting rolls.
Though going after the Red governors for human smuggling would end it faster.
