Could the blue states just ignore orders from the white house? Like if he orders them to round up illegal aliens? What could trump do about it?

Traditionally it comes down to the national guard. During desegregation the national guard was deployed to several southern states to enforce the law when southern states tried to ignore it. They’re not officially military so they don’t run afoul of the posse comitatus act, but they effectively serve the same function within US borders.
But why would they follow trump. As far as I know they are state funded, and answer to the governor normally. What would actually compell them?
