I believe US Marshalls are obligated to protect Terri at this point.
She is a federal witness, and has been one since she was called to testify in front of Congress.
Anyone who harms a federal witness is in deep trouble.
I think it was Rep. Weldon last night who said the President can use federal marshalls.

"Today, the Marshals Service is responsible for providing protection for the federal judiciary, transporting federal prisoners, **protecting endangered federal witnesses** and managing assets seized from criminal enterprises."
