US Marshalls? That's unusual. What changes does this make toward their obligations and duties? Let's dig in and find out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2021 — Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lamont Ruffin from U. S. District of Columbia District Court swears in 2,000 National Guard troops as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals prior to the upcoming presidential inauguration. Deputation gives the guardsmen temporary, limited, law enforcement authority pertaining specifically to the safety and protection of the inauguration and related events.
Ahh, there it is. They are now able to arrest. So the regular NG has not been given the authority to arrest or detain citizens. That's important information, even if Reuters is the one to say it. Nowhere in the article does it say anything about 10% of troops being eligible, only that swore in 2,000.
The twitter account is trying to make this sound like these are Biden's special security officers when there is no evidence of that. Nor does it say what the criteria was, so we don't know if appointments were based on political affiliation, recommendations by officers, a lottery draft, etc. Keep that in mind.
I have a feeling these marshalls will play a large part in whatever is to come in the next two days.
