Thanks for the comment, Antoinette! I am not sure you are correct. In general, I do not think state law can interfere with a federal officer carrying out his or her duties. Imagine for example that Massachusetts common law forbade arrests on Sunday or something.

There is no conflict in the law since federal law does not specifically address common law immunity from detention and service of process at the Courthouse.
