I hope it is true. I read yesterday that US Marshals do not wear IDs/name tags--the completely crooked DC Mayor was demanding to know who they were and was told to eff off.
I am so confused by this whole deal. I thought the mayor said no National Guard today. So this is confusing that now they're coming. But what's more confusing is how does she have control over DC more than Trump? Or is Trump letting her do it?
The direct authority to govern the federal district lies with congress and the federal government.
The congress chooses to allow an elected mayor to govern the DC municipal government as a specific delegation of its federal power, by law. Note that the power of the DC mayor does not therefore flow upward from the people as in other US municipalities, it flows down from congress. Congress merely delegates the exercise of that authority to an official chosen by the citizens of the district by election; it could change its mind about that tomorrow and completely abolish the office of Mayor of DC if it so decided.
Since the federal government is the sovereign power in the federal district, all federal officers in the executive are above the mayor and the mayor's subordinates in the chain of governance and command within the federal district.
Federal Marshals are not local law enforcement officers. They are federal law enforcement officers. Just as Federal Marshals in Tombstone were not answerable to the corrupt and intimidated locally appointed sheriff of the town of Tombstone, these federal deputized Marshals are not answerable to the corrupt and intimidated mayor of Washington DC.
This is going Wyatt Earp on the bitch, in other words.
I'm gonna need a bit more than a still image before I adopt that position. It conflicts with my own personal experience. If I were to guess I'd say it's load management.

US Marshals cannot be disarmed.
US Marshals cannot be evicted by a Mayor.

Now I'm just wondering what a pair of 143Ds would look like.
Like a couple of nuclear submarines tied together and painted pink.

Thanks for the reply...very informative and helpful to me. I'm really praying for a good outcome tonight!
Great synopsis. Thanks!
Bowser and Esper get the finger!
What does this mean? I thought there was already a chain of command.
in '15/'16 we discussed us marshalls extensively. I can't remember specifics, but us marshalls can do a LOT that other branches cannot do.

the military is not on our side
edit: yes, downvote me, that will mean that picture of the military bowing before their black overlords isn't real

Ha! F that mayor and the city. Trump needs to move the Whitehouse to the southeast. Maybe a place with a kick ass pier...

Who is swearing then in? A federal judge?
are they going to kneel before BLM too?
Is ‘kneel’ code word for ‘boot in the ass?’
no, it's code word for submitting to black lives matter terrorists https://imgur.com/a/I9G9TjZ
