We literally had laws like that for decades in the U.S. and it was legal depending on state. There are multiple SCOTUS rulings that freed slaves that were brought from slave states into states that prohibited slavery. It took the 13th Amendment to get rid of slavery as an institution, and the 14th amendment to affirm that citizens have the same rights no matter what state they're in. But the 14th Amendment didn't give the federal government supremacy over the states in all matters.

One of the strengths of the U.S. is giving strong preference to local governance versus having all power centralized in Washington, D.C. (the swamp), I hate seeing people here in addition to the left asking for more central government.

Did I miss the part of a civil war to do this?!
