Deputy U.S. marshals assigned to guard Supreme Court justices last year were directed to try not to make arrests, according to documents a U.S. senator revealed Tuesday, contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland’s assurances to Congress.
Sen. Katie Britt, Alabama Republican, confronted Mr. Garland with the training package used for the marshals deployed to protect justices. It said arrests were “not” to be a priority.
Mr. Garland told senators earlier this month that his prosecutors couldn’t bring cases unless the marshals made arrests, and the marshals on the scene didn’t think there was a reason to do that.
Ms. Britt said the guidance documents show they were directed not to.
“They were actively discouraged from doing so,” she said.
One section of the guidance specifically said making arrests was “not the goal” of the deployment, and another section said arrests should be “a last resort to prevent physical harm.”
Ms. Britt asked Mr. Garland at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday whether he was aware of the directives.
He said he was not aware, but stood by his earlier comments that the marshals were still able to act.

The Marshals need to tell them to go take a flyin’ leap at a rollin’ donut.
Get a rope.
Garland buys his suits from Trojan.
Very,*very* easy to believe.
So Garland and the truth are not a priority.
Wordsmithing little prick Garland is.
Garland swore to Congress that they had trouble a night,
in the dark. They were more afraid, and could not collect
Evidence. That is why they backed Antifa and the burning,
shooting and rape of America ... and DID NOTHING.
Antifa was smart doing their crimes in the dark.
]They knew NOTHING would be done ... except to the parents
of children they raped and sold.
To think that this Garland clown was a top pick by the Democrats to be a Supreme Court Justice.
Clearly Garland wants to intimidate the Supreme Court. He’ll do it again.
Meritless Garland is nothing but a traitor and disgrace to our country!
Can we get a list of laws we can ignore please. What happened to No One is Above the Law.
So who directed them to not make arrests?
Every single federal law enforcement agent is an enemy to the people. Every damned one. If they had ANY loyalty to the constitution and any integrity they would quit. No tyranny can happen without loyal unquestioning well armed government agents.
Get lots of rope. I can not communicate any more....
How many Republicans voted for his confirmation?
Wow, Garland lied, and he left the justices unprotected. This is how Fascists gain power. Garland wanted the Justices killed
He should be asked “ so, a lot of people would like to protest some of your decisions. I assume you’re okay with your street being shut down and a racket in your neighborhood, do I understand your position correctly?!? Why or why not?”
