For all intents and purposes, here, they may as well be the exact same agency. Who do you think the BLM uses to enforce policy? The same 'special agents' the FBI uses and/or has access to.
In the end it the same. It's the federal government.
We know apples and oranges are fruit.
Thus fruit equal government; apples equal BLM; oranges equal FBI.
Totally different. The BLM don't come into your city and have a search warrant for your house in New York city.

BLM in many areas also contracts with other agencies for enforcement; I think in the Mollala River Corridor of BLM Salem, they have Clackamas County SO on contract.
Same in Southern OR -- contract sheriff's deputies driving around in BLM rigs. USFS on the other hand has their own LE. And then there's FWS... they've got their own LE. You want to talk about covering some miles and territory!
In Linn county we have the forest deputies patroling BLM along with USFS LEO for law enforcement. State Forestry handles fire fighting and fill jump onto USFS fire anywhere near ODF protected area as the USFS lets things get out of hand at times.
