The "MARSHALS Act" proposes to fundamentally restructure the United States Marshals Service (USMS) by transferring it from the executive branch to the judicial branch. This legislation redesignates the USMS as a bureau within the judicial branch of the United States, placing it under new oversight. The bill amends Title 28, United States Code, to reflect this significant organizational shift, ensuring the Service's operations align with judicial independence. Under the proposed changes, the Director of the USMS would be appointed by the Chief Justice , in consultation with a newly established Board , and would be removable by this Board. Similarly, United States marshals for each judicial district would be appointed by the Chief Justice, also in consultation with the Board, for four-year terms. This Board, comprising the Chief Justice, the Judicial Conference of the United States, and the Director (as a non-voting member), would supervise the Director's activities and establish general goals and objectives for the Service. The bill also refines the powers and duties of the USMS, particularly emphasizing its role in personal protection . The Service would be explicitly authorized to provide protection for Federal jurists, court officers, witnesses, and other threatened persons whose safety is critical to the functioning of the judicial process. Furthermore, while the USMS may still assist the Department of Justice with tasks such as investigating fugitive matters, issuing administrative subpoenas for unregistered sex offenders, and locating missing children, such assistance would now require the request of the Attorney General and the approval of the USMS Director .
