This is not the first time US marshals have acted in strange ways since Trump took office.
A whistleblower who testified in Congress today is accusing the Trump administration of trying to “intimidate” her with help from the US Marshals Service, the law enforcement agency of the federal judiciary.
Liz Oyer, the former US pardon attorney who was fired last month, says Justice Department leaders dispatched two special deputy marshals to her house on Friday night—days before she was scheduled to speak with lawmakers about her concerns with the firing of career employees and what she describes as “corruption” at the department. “You appear to be using the Department’s security resources to intimidate a former employee who is engaged in statutorily protected whistleblower conduct,” Oyer’s attorney Michael Bromwich, a former Department of Justice inspector general, wrote in a letter to Justice Department leadership on Monday. He said dispatching special deputy marshals to Oyer’s home was “both unprecedented and completely inappropriate.”
