Hmmm……6,000 us marshals

I wondered that my self but that only 120 per state not including territories so maybe?
I'm not thinking so.
Even if it were close, pulling that many would leave every Fed courthouse in the country w/o a Marshal. Pretty sure they wouldn't do that.
 
Didn't they arm and train irs agents? Maybe they can lend a hand.
Call the Navy

There are full time US Marshalls and there are US Marshalls that are deputized that work for other agencies. They do this for special projects and national disasters etc. Only the US Marshalls Service and the FBI have complete jurisdiction everywhere in the US and territories. When they had the big hurricane in Puerto Rico cops from dozens of federal agencies responded and were given USMS Deputy cards (no badge) and were US Marshalls for the duration of their detail. It ensured they had jurisdiction and authority to enforce all 18 USC.

As long as they catch that Harrison Ford criminal I'm good. Or that vampire. Or do something. If they caught a crosswalking mom with a stroller that would be impressive. What exactly do they do? Or more specifically, what have they ever done?

So just so we all understand. There are roughly 3200 US marshals in all of the us. But when agencies send support (NYPD, LAPD etc etc.) they are deputized as marshal’s temporarily. That’s where the 6000 comes from.
Local LE that are sworn in as part of a task force do not deploy to out of area operations.

USMS absolutely wouldn't have sent even half of their deputies so that means they would have had to deputize over 4,000 local LE. They didn't do that.

Well as luck would have it I’m sitting here with a US Marshall on my flight to DC. He’s the one that explained it to me. It’s not that they deployed. It’s not uncommon for agencies to send support to Washington DC and when they do in order for them to have jurisdiction he explained the temporarily deputize them. 6000 2000 whatever the number is the confusion is just the media not reporting it in a 100% factual and concise manner.

I’m also
Not arguing that you are wrong, I’m just passing along what this Marshall stated to me.

A friend who was a US Marshall told me these gems...

How many US Marshalls does it take to get a Judge at the Federal Courthouse a cup of coffee?
None. That's Jans job. She does all the paperwork for the US Marshalls too. She's a clerical assistant.

Why is there a weight room in all Federal Courthouses?
Because if there wasn't one no US Marshalls would go there.

Lol.
That does seem to be a prerequisite.
