69. U.S. Marshalls are the law enorcement branch of the Judicial branch and do

not, as far as I know, answer to the Executive or Legislative branches. In the 1950s, US Marshalls accompanied black children to racially segregated schools to enforce federal court orders to desegregate said facilities.

The judge in this case might first have to issue an Order to Show Cause, compelling defendant Trump (how I like the sounds of those words) to appear to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. Upon his almost-certain failure to appear, the judge could then dispatch marshalls to compel his appearance. This is all theoretical, of course.
