The US Marshals are not to be fucked with. They are some lethal people and highly regarded as LEOs.

U.S. Marshals have been ordered to prepare to help protect historical monuments as left-wing protesters continue to target statues nationwide, according to an email leaked to the Washington Post.
Marshals Assistant Director Andrew Smith wrote that members have been “asked to immediately prepare to provide federal law enforcement support to protect national monuments (throughout the country).”
“This is a challenging assignment due to the breadth of possible targets for criminal activity,” added Smith.
The Post reports:
[Smith] said the Marshals Incident Management Team would start a Joint Operations Center in Springfield, Va., to coordinate, and every deputy in the Special Operations Group would be made available to help as soon as Thursday. He also asked other districts and divisions to identify people they might be able to lend to the effort until July 8.

It was not immediately clear how many Marshals would be involved in the work, or what, precisely, they would be doing. The assignment is unusual, as Marshals – who come under the Department of Justice – typically work providing security for courthouses, transporting prisoners, apprehending fugitives and protecting witnesses. It was the U.S. Park Police who dispersed the demonstrators around the Jackson statue.
When asked about the report, spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals said, “We don’t confirm or deny any enforcement actions that we might take.”
