U.S. Marshals at 8:00 a.m. Monday, January 18, 2021, announced that 2,000 National Guard troops were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals.
The official Twitter account of the U.S. Marshals posted photos showing Chief Lamont Ruffin from D.C. District Court swearing-in 2000 National Guard troops as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals prior to the upcoming presidential inauguration. Link
The tweet was posted the morning after U.S. defense officials announced they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from actual service members in the National Guard that are involved in the security of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Deputation gives the guardsmen temporary, limited, law enforcement authority pertaining specifically to the safety and protection of the inauguration and related events.
According to officials, the FBI is vetting 25,000 National Guard service members at the Washington D.C. inaugural, where there is concern that there is a threat to the president-elect.
The vetting of the National Guard troops began deploying to D.C. more than a week ago, and was set for completion by Wednesday.
D.C. National Guard commanding general says they’re taking “no chances” preparing for Joe Biden’s inauguration Wednesday.
Major General William Walker says there are about 21-thousand Guardsmen on the ground in DC as of this morning, roughly three times more than the average for a presidential inauguration.
During his interview, there was a huge moment that wasn’t reported by the mainstream media or any other media outlet.
He said that the National Guard has come to Washington DC from all 50 states to help with the peaceful transition to MILITARY power.

Below is a glimpse into the vetting of our NG’s.
FBI Vetting National Guard Assigned to Secure D.C., Biden Inauguration
Officials in charge of securing the District of Columbia and the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are vetting National Guard troops because of fears some could be supportive of protests against the results of the 2020 election.
That is a considerable task considering an estimated 25,000 National Guard will be stationed in the District for days before and after the event.
The Associated Press interviewed Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy about the development:
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.
In a situation like this one, FBI vetting would involve running peoples’ names through databases and watchlists maintained by the bureau to see if anything alarming comes up. That could include involvement in prior investigations or terrorism-related concerns, said David Gomez, a former FBI national security supervisor in Seattle.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.
“We’re continually going through the process, and taking second, third looks at every one of the individuals assigned to this operation,” McCarthy told the AP after he and other military official conducted a three-hour military drill.
“The question is, is that all of them? Are there others?” McCarthy said. “We need to be conscious of it and we need to put all of the mechanisms in place to thoroughly vet these men and women who would support any operations like this.”
“According to McCarthy, service members from across the military were at that rally, but it’s not clear how many were there or who may have participated in the breach at the Capitol,” AP reported. “So far only a couple of current active-duty or National Guard members have been arrested in connection with the Capitol assault.”
“If there’s any indication that any of our soldiers or airmen are expressing things that are extremist views, it’s either handed over to law enforcement or dealt with the chain of command immediately,” Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, said in the AP report.

Great point.
I remember in the old days where that description was very popular. The Democrats always loved them. I never could imagine the USA would become a mesh of a third world sh*thole and Soviet union.
Violation of Posse Commitatus?
Any oath taken to uphold U.S. law, including those in U.S. Courts area also null and void.
That’s been the plan since last summer
“Would you have any hesitation to shoot an unarmed MAGA supporter?”
“. . . announced that 2,000 National Guard troops were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals.”
Remember the Democrat concern a few weeks ago about “not militarizing the police.” It went so far that police officers had to stand bareheaded in line so rioters in Washington D.C. could pelt them with bricks and bottles - no military-looking head gear was allowed.
And now orders are to use deadly force if necessary to keep people from being ugly and moving the teacher’s lectern into another room without permission.
Any bets on whether these troops were issued any ammunition?
“Would you have any hesitation to shoot an unarmed MAGA supporter, male, female or Gay?
“Would you have any hesitation to shoot an unarmed MAGA supporter, male, female or Gay?
I look at it this way:
Who is in charge of “MILITARY POWER”?
The Lord of hosts.

You must have a different Constitution than the rest of us. Mine clearly authorizes an Army and a Navy. Federal troops are clearly allowed in the District of Columbia since DC is federal property.
Yes. We are allowed.
They were.
Background checks.
My last 3 years of my Naval Reserve, I was a recruiter for a good size Reserve unit and a Naval Security Group which I was a member.
The personnel guys asked that question, and I followed up with it when the candidates got to me. Now as a Republican, I probably would not be vetted.
Background checks.
If you had a few weeks or months.
Now, with this mess, they are making those vetting decisions in days or hours.
Sec of Defense Chris Miller is in control of the military. He knows what to do.
