Individual US States are a party to some of these lawsuits, and they have their own duly sworn law enforcement officers. I bet a Federal judge would be able to find NY State Troopers or Massachusetts State Police willing to enforce their orders if there is a judgement in favor of that State in court.
They do have the power to deputize enforcement…but they won’t

They won’t but even if they hypothetically tried to, I doubt they could. We’re talking about Marshalls who have spent their career in the DoJ working alongside and for the Executive Branch. The courts try to tell the AG to order the Marshalls to do something and the AG refuses. So the courts try to deputize the Marshalls and give direct orders and we’re to expect the Marshalls will go against the people they’ve been loyal to their entire careers?

Oh, I wasn’t thinking they’d deputize a Marshall. Not that it makes any difference, though. Anybody with training sufficient for the job is probably a fucking pig Nazi anyway

There are plenty of ex military with the training and ethics to choose from. But with the 6-4 SCROTUS? Fat chance.

They’re cops. They don’t get training. Just a gun.
