News outlets in El Dorado County, California, report that a county sheriff has stripped state law enforcement authority from the US Forestry Service. Sheriff John D’Agostini made the move in response to a high number of complaints coming to his office. He will not go into details about the complaints received, but says he gave the US Forestry Service plenty of opportunity to respond to the complaints. “The U.S. Forest Service, after many attempts and given many opportunities, has failed to meet that standard.” The sheriff has sent a letter to the US Forestry Service stating officers will no longer be able to enforce state law in his county. “The U.S. Forest Service, after many attempts and given many opportunities, has failed to meet that standard.” Sheriff to the Feds: You are on Notice by Kelli Sladick on July 8, 2013 in All Posts, Local, Nullification, Sheriffs 23 262 News outlets in El Dorado County, California, report that a county sheriff has stripped state law enforcement authority from the US Forestry Service. Sheriff John D’Agostini made the move in response to a high number of complaints coming to his office.

Due to the Constitution’s structure of dual sovereignty, the feds have no authority to enforce state laws. Furthermore, states cannot be compelled to enforce federal laws. One thing stands in the way: the sheriff! Not all states or counties have one, but the sheriff, an elected official, is usually known as the highest law enforcer of the county and has law enforcement powers exceeding that of any other state or federal official. The feds may have forgotten authority resides in the sheriff, but not Tenthers. And just like in El Dorodo County California, sheriffs around the several states are standing up against the feds. There sheriff is one representative with enough spine to say to the feds, you have no authority here. As Sheriff Mack said, “the Constitution gives the federal government the authority to police exactly four areas: treason, piracy, treaty violations and counterfeiting. The other 5,000 they’ve stolen and usurped from state and local authorities. The very people who have promised us they will protect and defend the Constitution are the ones who are destroying it.” WHAT YOU CAN DO: 1. Work locally to nullify unconstitutional federal acts.
