Governors and the Supreme Court protecting America because the president won’t…Have we ever seen this before?

[my2¢]

Supreme Court's ruling was consistent with what they ruled against Arizona 10 years ago in that when in comes to immigration enforcement, federal control trumps state.

Arizona v. United States is a case decided on June 25, 2012, by the United States Supreme Court holding that states may not implement their own immigration laws. The case concerned Arizona's immigration-related law SB 1070, enacted in 2010. At issue was whether federal immigration law preempts state immigration law.

In a 5-3 decision, the court held that federal law preempted three provisions of Arizona's law:[1]

1. The provision making it a state crime to reside in the country without legal permission
2. The provision making it a state crime to work in the country without legal permission
3. The provision allowing law enforcement officers to arrest individuals without a warrant based on probable cause of unlawful presence

The court ruled that the first provision conflicted with federal provisions already in place, while the second and third provisions were preempted because they interfered with federal authority over immigration law.
