The Federal Gov. can and will file charges (or just threaten to stop federal money from coming) whenever a State refuses to follow a Federal Law/order/etc.

Has a portion of Arizona been given back to Mexico?

That is what Arizona is arguing the Federal Government has done. The state of Arizona claims it is trying to reclaim its own land and enforce its border with Mexico. The Federal Government claims a different issue is involved. I am not sure at present just what that issue may be. The Federal Government has brought charges against Arizona but until I have seen the charges, I can not comment on what they mean. I never accept a reporter's understanding of an inditement. I have seen too many that have been totally wrong.

If a crime took place in one state but no charges were filled in that state can another state file charges for that crime?

If a crime is committed in one state, the crime is a violation of state law, that state does not file charges, and the perpetrator moves to another state, the second state does not have jurisdiction to file charges. However, the first state can file charges anytime until the Statute of Limitations on that particular crime runs out. This can be years later, and some crimes have no Statute of Limitations. Then they can seek the extradition of the accused to face charges where the crime was committed. The second state will likely graant the extradition request unless an insufficiency of evidence is established during extradition hearings. If the crime was a violation of Federal Law, charges would be filed by the Federal government and it would not matter what state the perpetrator went to. The Federal Government has jurisdiction in all states for Federal crimes. In some cases, the Federal Government can take the acused into custody on the grounds of crossing state lines to avoid prosecution, which itself can be a Federal crime.
