28 USC Sec. 566
(a)It is the primary role and mission of the United States Marshals Service to provide for the security and to obey, execute, and enforce all orders of the United States District Courts, the United States Courts of Appeals, the Court of International Trade, and the United States Tax Court, as provided by law.
(b) The United States marshal of each district is the marshal of the district court and of the court of appeals when sitting in that district, and of the Court of International Trade holding sessions in that district, and may, in the discretion of the respective courts, be required to attend any session of court.
©Except as otherwise provided by law or Rule of Procedure, the United States Marshals Service shall execute all lawful writs, process, and orders issued under the authority of the United States, and shall command all necessary assistance to execute its duties.
This codified the common law in the US.
The Court’s order to its district marshal is superior to any DoJ order. If the marshal won’t act, the Court can conpel them into court and hold them in contempt.
Courts (and marshals) can also deputize people to execute their orders. They can also hold others in contempt who contribute to orders not being followed…they can start seizing and freezing assets of Trump’s helpers; they can award money damages as sanctions, they can disbar attorneys. There’s a lot they can do. I hope the courts start playing hard ball with these lawless fucks.

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

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

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

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.

Why would New York cops go after their own like that?

Correct - the states have the explicit duty to raise and regulate militias, as stated in the second amendment.
