US DOJ sues Illinois over state laws conflicting with Trump’s immigration policies

The US Department of Justice sued the state of Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and other state officials Thursday over state laws that limit local law enforcement from aiding federal immigration authorities.

The suit claimed that the state’s Way Forward Act and TRUST Act, Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, and Cook County’s “Policy for Responding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detainers,” inhibit and obstruct federal agents from enforcing federal immigration laws and regulations:

The challenged provisions of Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County law [make] it more difficult for, and deliberately [impede], federal immigration officers’ ability to carry out their responsibilities in those jurisdictions. These provisions intentionally obstruct the sharing of information envisioned by Congress… thereby impairing federal detention of removable aliens, including dangerous criminals, as required by federal law[.]

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Hasn't Texas been denied the right to have laws that conflict with federal laws on immigration?  I don't see a difference here, except maybe for a liberal federal judge changing things.
