I believe that in Utah the State (or a county, I can’t remember the details) tried to halt Forest Service personnel from enforcing state and local laws (speeding, etc.). Court said they couldn’t block it. So you have Feds acting like local cops.

Multiple rural county sheriffs from Utah testified bout the abusive use of police power by Bureau of Land Management rangers or forest protection officers with the U.S. Forest Service.

They are asserting it is time to rein in the authority the agencies should have never been allowed to exercise.
