    Yes and no. The US Marshals are law enforcement for he Federal Courts. However they are not a part of the judicial branch. They are still part of the executive branch and answer to the DOJ.

    So… literally the “where does power lie” question from Game of Thrones. When you are meant to enforce the Court’s orders but you’re also meant to follow the DOJ’s orders, which orders do you follow when they conflict?
