Last time I checked a state court (even a state Supreme Court) couldn’t overrule federal law. (and in some cases I wish it could because Federal Gun law would by bye-bye in large swaths of the nation)

The Congress can pass a law saying that states have to honor federal detainers. There is currently no such law; a detainer is, as the article itself says, a "request."
