"...Could states rely on multiple illegalities to detain illegals?"

They could, but the objective is to get the illegals removed from the country. Detaining them doesn't do that, and now ICE won't remove them either. Perhaps ya just gotta put them on a one-way bus to California...

They can be “transported” (not deported) if they request to go back home. And given a choice between conviction for a multiple offense crime or a ride to the border, I’m guessing many will choose the “transportation”.
