      According to the link you posted, it is correct. The usual enforcement arm for the courts is the US Marshalls under the DOJ. However, they have other options that have never been tried.

      So what’s stopping the President from ordering the FBI/Marshalls/etc from actively preventing the arrest of the person in contempt?

        It’s in that same article. A judge may deputize someone to enforce a court order. That’s assuming the DoJ refuses, then the judge issues a writ that is ignored.

        Rule 4.1 specifies how certain types of “process” — the legal term for orders that command someone to appear in court — are to be served on the party to which they are directed. The rule begins in section (a) by instructing that, as a general matter, process “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”

          The US Marshalls of the DOJ is usually the enforcement arm for the judiciary.

          Deputizing someone is an enforcement mechanism and not the enforcement arm.
