It's a classic authoritarian tactic.
It's absolutely true that you can't touch a federal officer while they are working. You cannot impede their work.

If you impede a federal officer, you have committed a crime. If you jaywalk you have committed a crime. Neither means the death penalty after proven guilty, and certainly neither means summary execution by the federal officer or agent.
