Don't need a federal court, just have the Sergeant at Arms take her into custody

IIRC, the sergeant at arms' authority no longer extends beyond the curb of Capitol Hill.

Nor is there anywhere to keep her in custody. The Capitol Jail is not capable of feeding or keeping prisoners overnight.

Some years ago, Congress agreed to rely on the Justice Dept in matters like these. The understanding was that, even if the administration was an opposition party, they would act in good faith in such matters.

But this Justice Dept isn't going to arrest or jail anybody at the behest of the Republican House.
