(in the US) There is no single pre-eminent, all-powerful, law enforcement body or agency in the United States. Therefore, it must be presumed that the question is asking about what federal agencies have nationwide police/law enforcement arrest powers to enforce CRIMINAL law ANYWHERE in the nation.
I will omit attempting to list agencies and their agents who possess power to enforce CIVIL law as it wold apply to virtually EVERY federal agency within the executive branch.
For the nationwide enforcement of CRIMINAL law - such a list might include (but is not limited to): the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - the US Secret Service - the US Marshall's Service - the US Park Police - Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - the US Border Patrol - the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) - the US Postal Inspection Service - etc. This list is not all-inclusive and not all uniformed federal officers possess the same powers, even within the same agency (e.g.: Some Rangers of the US Forest Service are sworn law enforcement officers, but many are not).
If another contributor can think of other agencies which qualify to be added to this list, their contribtuons are invited.
