According to documents obtained by Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt, Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered U.S. Marshals not to arrest protesters, telling them it should “not” be a priority. Per theMr. Garland told senators earlier this month that his prosecutors couldn’t bring cases unless the marshals made arrests, and the marshals on the scene didn’t think there was a reason to do that.“They were actively discouraged from doing so,” she said.
