      The local police who are deferential to the judicial. That’s how and why they can arrest people. The executive does not decide this.

      Am I living in a universe where people just aren’t tought these things in school?

        They do.

        Federal Court actions are enforced by the United States Marshals Service, which is part of the executive branch, which is under the President’s Authority.

        That’s why we got the famous quote from President Andrew Jackson: “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it”.
