Can Minnesota make a law that bans ICE from operating in the State?

i.e Can states override federal authority?

Seems like states should have the right to allow ICE. Police departments are already by state.

Unfortunately not. Federal law in this circumstance supersedes state authority.

I guess it would be a major step towards civil war, but I wonder if states have the right to protect their residents from unlawful conduct by federal law enforcement. ICE has established a clear pattern of behavior in the last year that should remove any assumption they are acting lawfully (and federal judges have told them as much).
