Isn't denying access to the US border to federal agents, essentially another example of insurrection?

I know they are doing this for the show, but I'm not sure if they are ready for the endgame.

The Framers included both Article IV, § 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States' sovereign interest in protecting their borders.”

Didn't the Supreme Court already rule on this though?

Why does the federal government seem devoted to keeping the border open?

They don't.

Barbwire is set up at the border to cause damage. It is actually even worse than not having it, since border agents are required to seek medical assistance for any individual hurt during an operation.
