The U.S. Marshals Service was sued today by a group seeking information about the deputization of Elon Musk's private security detail and reports that a marshal visited the chambers of federal judges to ask about the release of Jan. 6 defendants pardoned by Trump on his first day in office.

The suit, filed by Democracy Forward in federal court in Washington today, seeks records regarding reports that U.S. Marshals Service officials "had communicated inappropriately with federal judges regarding their actions on pending cases related to January 6th," that individuals "associated with the U.S. DOGE Service (“DOGE”) have repeatedly invoked threats to engage USMS when seeking questionable access to agency buildings and information," and that "DOGE leader Elon Musk’s private security guards have been deputized by USMS."

Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said that the Marshals Service "plays a critical role in enforcing court orders, which couldn’t be more important as the courts continue to serve as a bulwark against the Trump administration’s abuses of power."

"The American people deserve for the USMS to fulfill its role protecting their interests, not for it to act as the personal security force in DOGE and Elon Musk’s campaign of government overreach," Perryman said.
