Historical Insight:
Founded in 1789 by the Judiciary Act, the U.S. Marshals Service has served every administration in U.S. history. Its duties have ranged from apprehending fugitives to protecting the judiciary and transporting prisoners. The Service also played a crucial role in civil rights enforcement during the 1960s, escorting schoolchildren into newly integrated schools and upholding federal law during moments of crisis.
