As a continuance of the shut-down thread about the Idaho GOP legislature wanting to ban the FBI from operating in their state, I'll post this question:
Can an individual state "ban" a federal agency from operating in their state?
"BREAKING: Idaho GOP has voted to abolish the FBI and ban them from the state if it is deemed they cannot be reformed."
Now let's look at two examples where this has already occurred:
1. Oregon:
"Under Oregon’s sanctuary laws, county and law enforcement officials are prohibited from providing ICE with non-public information about criminal aliens necessary for federal law enforcement, including the release dates of those criminal aliens from local jails. In addition, Oregon law enforcement does not honor immigration detainers due to Oregon court rulings."
ICE serves 5 immigration subpoenas in Oregon for criminal alien information from local law enforcement
2. States which ignore the Drug Enforcement Agency and federal laws on the use, possession, and sale of marijuana, a Schedule I controlled substance:
