Yes but that is usually limited enforcement scope. Usually the feds can’t use local license issues as a pretext for unauthorized entry.

Beverage control is entirely a state issue, and I think all states have units dedicated to that purpose. The feds have no interest in that, at all.

What feds? It's the Waco PD who claimed that they tried to get Twin Peaks to ban the bikers (which TP denies ever happened.)
