What does 28 USC 566 establish?

• A. Jurisdiction over federal courts
• B. Primary Mission (Federal Courts)
• C. Authority to issue warrants
• D. The authority of a Deputy U.S. Marshal

Answer: (D)

28 U.S.C. 566 sets the authority and duties of Deputy U.S. Marshals. It clarifies that those appointed as deputies operate under the U.S. Marshal and are empowered to carry out the Marshal’s responsibilities—enforcing federal law, executing court orders and warrants as directed, making arrests when authorized, transporting prisoners, and protecting the federal judiciary. This statute defines who can perform these crucial law-enforcement tasks on behalf of the federal courts and under the Marshal’s supervision. It does not establish federal-court jurisdiction, determine the courts’ primary mission, or grant warrants to be issued (those powers lie with judges or magistrates). The core idea is that the deputy’s authority to act as an arm of the U.S. Marshal is defined here.
