But even if “protection” is solely “enforcement”, the neg’s wrong about what that means

In sum, although Rosenthal could be cited for the proposition that implementing a safe injection site statute does not constitute enforcement, there is little else to support such a constrained definition of the term. No other court decision appears to have limited the term "enforcement" to acts that compel compliance with the law. Instead, other court cases have consistently recognized that "enforce" means to give effect to a law. 226 Because operators of a government-run safe injection facility would cause the state or local law that establishes and regulates the facility to take effect, they would be engaged in enforcement under this definition. Similarly, because employees of a government-run safe injection site would be operating pursuant to a statutory mandate, they would be in the same position as the police officer from Kama, who the Rosenthal court seemed to agree was entitled to immunity under the CSA.
