That is absolutely absurd.
Wow.
I saw more on that story ....they actually(7 marshals)....threw this guy to the ground...when he asked "what is this about?"....they said..."you know what this is about!"

Yeah....I'm sure he was JUST thinking of that loan that nobody pays back when they bail on school just before you guys knocked on his door.

The news story said +1,000 other people they will be arresting soon. Not sure how they are going to get away with it without reading rights or allowing attorneys though.

What do you mean? They don't have to read rights at all. It's essentially a civil order for arrest. I've seen it for failure to pay child support before.

That said, pretty absurd to be going to people's houses and arresting them for non-payment on student loans. I interned for the US Marshals Service in college, they have much better things to do than this ****.

"Green says as a result, those attorneys and debt collectors are getting judgments in federal court and asking judges to use the US Marshals Service to arrest those who have failed to pay their federal student loans."

How is this even an option?
