The US Marshals are supposed to work for the Judicial Branch…not the Executive Branch. They are the only enforcement agency that doesn’t answer to the DOJ. They should be acting as a check against Executive overreach. Instead, they’re aiding and abetting illegal orders.
That’s not quite right. US Marshals are literally an agency of the Dept of Justice and part of the executive. The judicial branch is the only one of the three without any law enforcement.
That said, in normal times Marshals are tasked with protecting the judicial, and being the judicial law enforcement, but that comes from the executive.
