WELL THE PRESIDENTS POWERS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE CONSTITUTION IN NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. WHEN A STATE GOVERNOR DENYS PRESIDENTIAL POWERS I CALL THAT SEDITION. THE CLOSEST EXAMPLE WOULD BE...GOVERNOR WALLACE BLOCKING SEGREGATION IN ALABAMA. While Governor Wallace physically stood in the doorway to prevent the enrollment of two African American students, Vivian Malone and James Hood, U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy ultimately... chose not to arrest Wallace. Instead, President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and directed them to command Wallace to stand aside, which he eventually did, allowing the students to register. BUT FROM THE SUGGESTED STATEMENT...AN ARREST MAY HAVE BEEN LEGAL. AS FEDERAL LAW DICTATES... Yes, any person can be arrested for violating federal laws. Federal law enforcement officers, like those from the FBI, DEA, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), are authorized to make arrests for federal crimes. Local police generally cannot arrest someone for a violation of federal law, though they may assist federal agents or make an arrest if they witness a federal crime in progress. Federal criminal laws cover a wide range of offenses, including drug trafficking, immigration violations, assault, computer hacking, bribery, and wildlife trafficking, among others. If a person is arrested for a federal offense, they are usually taken into custody and will eventually face charges in federal court. uscourts gov uscongress gov
