    I didn’t realize states had the power to block federal personnel from performing their duties. Maybe they should activate the National Guard to protect the border patrol guys so they can do their jobs.

      They don’t but they told their soldiers they do. Federal border control isn’t going to get in a shootout over it while it goes through the legal system.
