They told them to not violate state law or they would prosecute them. The whole idea that states have their own laws that can, and often do, contradict federal laws sets up this exact scenario.

This played out completely differently when Kim Davis broke federal law by denying marriage licenses to same sex couples. In that situation certain people wanted Kentucky to enact a law making same sex marriage illegal.  


I think the outrage would more likely be coming from the fact that this has to do with deportation.
