Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.

1. The ICE gestapo makes up the law as they go.

Like the Courts are doing.

2. They are not there to enforce any laws

they are there to intimidate and harass residents in a blue city. So much for GOP claiming to be against big government tyranny.

Wait until they find out it's been completely legal to grow and smoke weed on private property for the last 10 years. They'll probably arrest people for that anyway.

3. The LE officer doing the talking said that he smelled reefer. NT

4. Which is legal but they don't care.

5. Not federally, it isn't.

Which is the problem.

Idiots.
