" ...PROVIDING THAT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES MUST OBTAIN THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S PERMISSION TO ARREST, SEARCH, AND SEIZE;.."

It simply doesn't matter what the States pass...Federal law trumps state law. As long as the Agents are conducting an arrest, investigation, warrant search, etc., that falls within their Federal jurisdiction, then there is absolutely nothing the locals or state officials can realistically do to limit that authority...that takes the US Congress.
