Todd Talk: Federalism or Obstruction? States Can’t Block Immigration Law

Written By Todd Huff

A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.

My friends, the Democrat Party may be about to get another hard lesson in federalism. Federalism protects states’ rights, but it also requires states to comply with federal law. When it comes to immigration, the Constitution is clear: that authority belongs to the federal government.

The Supreme Court ruled in Arizona v. United States that states cannot enforce federal immigration law on their own. Enforcement belongs to the federal government.

Fast forward to today. New York’s Zohran Mamdani says the NYPD won’t cooperate with ICE. They don’t have to help — but they cannot obstruct. And they certainly shouldn’t be threatening to arrest federal agents for doing their jobs.

Immigration laws are on the books. They’re finally being enforced, and left-run cities and states are trying to interfere.

That’s not federalism.

That’s obstructionism.

And it has to end.
