“the same committee declared that county sheriffs are supreme”

Did not the Supreme Court rule as such in a case?

The USSC ruled in Printz v US that the federal government cannot compel, draft or order state officials to carry out federal laws. The court ruled that the federal government, state government and county governments are sovereigns. In legalese, we’re talking about the concept of dual sovereignties.

So, with my limited understanding, can the county Sheriff arrest federal officers carrying out Constitutional duties? I’d guess no. Can the sheriff arrest federal officers who blatantly violate Constitutional and state laws? Yes.
