Federal supremacy is provided for in the Constitution, ratified at Appomattox Court House 161 years ago.

What I don’t understand is why didn’t they know this in the first place?

Yes! That execrable law was designed to put targets on the backs of ICE agents.

(b) They hope to enforce rigorously to make an impact until being struck down
(c) They hope that court delays will still bring about their desired outcomes in the meantime
(d) They want money to be poured into litigation... and hope that the other side runs out of funds first.

Supremacy Clause from United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2):

“This Constitution, AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

They do know, and they don’t care. If they ever get the opportunity to stack the supreme court, get ready for the civil war.
