    The US Marshals Service reports to the judiciary. Unfortunately, that means they’re directed by the Attorney General which is a role currently occupied by a loyalist.

      And if the Marshals fail to accomplish or carry out the judiciary’s orders, the judiciary can deputize anyone to do so.

      Yeah so they don’t report to the judiciary, they’re part of the executive branch.
