He explained to me that the military has no authority to make arrests on US soil outside of a military base. The only people who can arrest elected officials are the US Marshals. And they can even arrest the president...
That’s why they are swearing in 4000 us marshals from National Guard as we speak.

This is true. MPs specifically, I know have been deputized by sheriffs for events, but the marshalls doing it seems odd to me.
This is correct.
Wouldn’t it be better this way. Marshalls are the law of the land, no?
You remember the old westerns? There were Sheriffs and there were Marshalls. The Marshalls were Federal and the Sheriffs were County.
