      They have the Marshals, and the judge could indeed order a government official arrested.

        In sane times, yes. But US Marshals are a part of the Dept of Justice, which answers to the Executive. So I’ll let you guess how that would play out if they were ordered to arrest Trump or anyone else in his circle.

          The court needs to do this and see what happens. A civil war may be the only way out of this.
