"What our sheriff (Pat Garret) stated was that he would not enforce these FEDERAL laws and cited a supreme court decision which clarifies local LEOs are not required to enforce any federal laws."

If the same logic is followed as that applied by SCOTUS on immigration law, then it may be unconstitutional for local LEO's to enforce federal laws. Wouldn't that be nice.
