Did you see the law that Scott posted? We have a 'supremacy clause' which says that federal law trumps state law. There is a federal law that gives the POTUS the authority to do exactly what Trump did, and I presume that law was signed by a president other than Donald Trump.
WDMSO, I don't doubt that a lot of people don't like this ban. Not liking it, and having the authority to disregard it, are not the same thing. I don't like paying my state income tax, it imposes severe hardship on my family, I could do a lot more for my kids if I didn't have to bear that burden. So can I declare my house a 'sanctuary' from the state income tax? Or can only liberals pick and choose which laws they feel like obeying, and which they feel like disregarding?
