Yes, the US Marshall Service is part of the Department of Justice.

And, although they operate under the direction of the Attorney General, the following brings up an interesting point:

The Marshals Service serves as the enforcement and security arm of the U.S. federal judiciary

If the court issues an order and the attorney general subsequently refuses to enforce that order, couldn’t the court then issue an order placing the attorney general under arrest?

    Oh, I wasn’t thinking they’d deputize a Marshall. Not that it makes any difference, though. Anybody with training sufficient for the job is probably a fucking pig Nazi anyway
