Good point, I found this opinion: "Contempt: Can the Courts Stand Up for the Rule of Law?

Times of heightened tensions between states and the federal government have produced some of the most prominent examples of states using their criminal laws against federal actors. With the United States seemingly entering such a period, it may only be a matter of time before similar cases arise again..."

"Over the past 18 years, officers at Maryland’s Frederick County jail have asked thousands of inmates two standard questions: What country are you a citizen of? And where were you born?"

New laws force some sheriffs to stop helping Trump's immigration crackdown

New laws in some Democratic-led states are forcing local sheriffs to stop cooperating with President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement efforts. A law signed Tuesday by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore prohibits arrangements in which local law officers interrogate and detain people for U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement. New Mexico's governor signed a similar law earlier this month. And 10 Democratic-led states now have similar policies. The sheriff of Frederick County, Maryland, says it will force him to end a program that has turned over 1,884 inmates to ICE custody over the past 18 years.
