U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth of the District of Columbia gave the administration until Aug. 13 to explain how it will get VOA working again. The outlet that dates back to World War II has been largely dark since March.
Lamberth said the administration needs to show what it is doing with the $260 million Congress appropriated for VOA’s operations this year.
The US Marshalls are executive branch.
That does not take the ability away from courts to deputize as they need to to see orders carried out.
They definitely are but they’re also the group I’d expect to be most likely to honor a lawful court order even if someone in their chain of command didn’t want them to.
One way we’re a bit lucky even today is that it takes time to train high level law enforcement people (so not ICE) and we’re only 6 months into Trump 2 (ugh).
That is even more the case for the high echelons of career (not appointed) law enforcement like FBI and Marshalls.
