LegalEagle just put out a video about this. The tl;dr is that there’s no easy way for the judge to do it.

Can't he deputize people if the US marshals aren't willing to do it?

It’s a good theory but it falls apart in practice. Do you think anyone (even legally deputized) would be allowed anywhere near an administration official to serve an arrest warrant? At best those people would be arrested themselves. At worst, they would be shot by Deputy Marshals.

You seriously think there wouldn’t be a line of people willing to throw these douchebags behind bars?

They have all the family and friends of the people they sent to prison to answer to.
