What is that jurisdiction?

What is the authority of the Capitol Police?
2 US 1961:
The Capitol Police shall police the United States Capitol Buildings and Grounds under the direction of the Capitol Police Board, consisting of the Sergeant at Arms ... and shall have the power to enforce the provisions of ... section ... 1966 ...

What does section 1966 say?
In the performance of their protective duties under this section, members of the United States Capitol Police are authorized (1) to make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony

What is the crime of Contempt of Congress?
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.

So, the way I read it is ...
(1) House Sergeant at Arms has the same law enforcement authority as the Capitol Police.
(2) In general, the Capitol Police have jurisdiction over those things that happen on the Capitol grounds.
(3) However, this authority extends beyond the Capitol grounds for the purpose of making arrests, if such arrest is for either (a) a misdemeanor conducted in their presence, or (b) a felony.
(4) Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor, not a felony, HOWEVER ... the contempt DOES occur within the presence of the Sergeant at Arms because he sits in on all House sessions.
(5) Therefore, the Sergeant at Arms DOES have legal authority to go to Garland's home, place of work, or anywhere else to arrest him, if he gets the order from the Speaker of the House.
Of course, this would be challenged in court. What would the questionable SCOTUS say?
If Congress does not have authority to enforce subpoenas to investigate those things for which it has authority to investigate, then it can never have the authority to investigate anything. If a corrupt Executive Branch refuses to investigate itself and Congress cannot impose a penalty, then the entire constitutional system collapses.
Will SCOTUS acknowledge that, or show their own treason by refusing to do so?
