I’m from Europe, but can’t local police enforce federal laws?
Local police barely enforce local laws
Yes.
No, they can’t unless the federal government specifically deputize the local cops, which would effectively make them federal police temporarily
Not true, local cops can arrest someone for a federal crime. For example, lately some PDs have decided to start enforcing immigration laws.
Not American, but isn’t that a state by state decision, though?
States and local PDs can decide on policies, ie which crimes they want to arrest and which they will let the federal government enforce. For example some states have a policy of not enforcing federal marijuana laws. But this is just a matter of efficient use of resources. They always could arrest someone for a federal crime.
I see
One important note regarding recent news from Texas: even if state police can arrest someone for a federal crime, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they can enforce other federal laws, like immigration laws.
They can.
Right the whole states’ rights thing
