>The DEA is limited by statute to enforcing drug related federal crimes. But on Sunday, Timothy Shea, a former US Attorney and close confidant of Barr who was named acting administrator of the DEA last month, received approval from Associate Deputy Attorney General G. Bradley Weinsheimer to go beyond the agency’s mandate “to perform other law enforcement duties” that Barr may “deem appropriate.”

I wonder if there is a specific loophole they are exploiting here or if they are simply ignoring the law because they can.

There is no law that forces them not to work on other areas. It is just an administrative division.

The comment at the top of the thread disagrees with that; it says there is a statute that applies.
