You'd think they would at least Google something before stating it as fact.

Yes, a federal agent can absolutely arrest someone for obstruction of justice, as it's a serious federal offense involving interfering with law enforcement or judicial processes, with agents having authority to act on felonies committed in their presence or with reasonable belief, and specific statutes authorize arrests for impeding federal officers or judicial proceedings.
How it Works:
- Federal Offense: Obstruction of justice, including actions like lying to agents, destroying evidence, tipping off suspects, or physically resisting, violates numerous federal laws (e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 1503, 1512).
- Agent Authority: Federal agents (like FBI, ICE, Secret Service) are sworn law enforcement officers with arrest powers, especially for felonies, allowing them to arrest without a warrant if they have probable cause or see the crime.

He certainly IS empowered to arrest people who are interfering with law enforcement duties, no matter if it's for a few minutes or a few hours or a few days. That whole article was a biased piece of nonsense full of agenda. Liberal Daily Kos ... no surprise. People who read that like 'The View'.
