The federal judges could also send people to arrest Trump.
No, they cannot, because federal authorities won’t prosecute a sitting US President. Only the House, by way of Impeachment, and the Senate, by way of conviction can anything be done about Trump now.
Additionally, SCOTUS gave the President total immunity when it comes to “official actions” which is not at all defined in any capacity, so the interpretation is up in the air. All’s Trump has to do is argue that these are official actions and nothing can feasibly be done.
So he demands a sitting supreme court justice be arrested and they are. It goes to court and its found Trump can’t do that. The judge is released, and nothing happens to Trump at all. So he tries again. And again. And again. Until he’s finally successful.
Roe v. Wade was considered the law of the land and no one ever thought it could ever be overturned. Republicans tried for over 50 years to get it reversed which everyone agreed was a fools errand. And then they did… Just because something can’t happen doesn’t mean it really can’t happen.
First off, you literally started an argument explaining that something can’t happen, then ended it by saying that something that can’t happen can happen, and that hurts my brain a bit.
Secondly, one reason reason a judge can deputize people is for cases where the executive branch or law enforcement has gone rogue and they need to enforce the law outside of the regular channels.
Third, the whole “Can’t arrest or charge a sitting President for any crime” thing isn’t a law, but a justice department policy. Deputized law enforcement and prosecutors from outside of the justice department wouldn’t be bound by that policy.

It’s not even a policy, it’s a literal post it note memo with no known author.
