Local governments use their power to to preserve state and local values in the face of federal policies by creating different policies to block the federal law. Some local governments become sanctuary governments or cities if you will. Like in the case of immigration during modern times a lot of cities have became sanctuary cities because they are trying to bar themselves from Trumps immigration laws. Some local governments are also just ignoring the federal law and doing their own thing with it or some may also reword the law to make it fit with their values and opinions.
