So here's the article: https://ktla.com/news/local-news/u-s-marshals-help-track-down-arrest-suspect-connected-to-brazen-mid-day-dog-theft-in-dtla/

Apart from universally condemning dog thieves, and being glad these brutes got caught, the interesting thing is that US Marshals got involved at all. To me it seems like another data point, albeit a small one, in federal oversight over local government, i.e., devolution. I've never heard of marshals being involved in local crime except in federal territories.

Frens, enlighten me if I'm just uninformed about the marshals role generally, or if this is as weird as I think it is. Thanks.
