D. Judicial Enforcement Service (JES)

A government that guarantees Rights must possess the ability to enforce them. The Judicial Enforcement Service exists to give the courts of the United States the ability to carry out their lawful orders and protect the Rights of the People without relying on the Executive Branch. This Service is necessary to preserve the independence of the Judiciary, ensure access to justice, and uphold the constitutional limits on State power. It belongs solely to the Judicial Branch. Congress shall have oversight authority via any committee with jurisdiction over the Judiciary. The Executive Branch has no authority over the JES, whatsoever.

D.1. Leadership and Oversight

a. Director

The Judicial Enforcement Service (JES) is led by a Director of Judicial Enforcement, who is appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and confirmed by the Senate within sixty (60) days of nomination. The Director may be removed by the Chief Justice only for cause, which must be stated in writing. The Director may be impeached in the same manner as other senior federal officials, but only for exceeding constitutional authority or violating the Civil or Civic powers of any Person.

b. Inspector General

There shall also be an Inspector General, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, who may only be removed for cause. The Inspector General will have full subpoena power to investigate any allegations of misconduct perpetrated by JES officers.

The JES shall be composed of three divisions, each led by a Division Commander:

a. Security Division

Responsible for transporting detained individuals to and from court, maintaining courtroom and courthouse safety, and ensuring physical protection for court officers, judges, witnesses, and others under judicial protection.

b. Detention Division

Responsible for operating secure detention facilities in reasonable proximity to the courts. The division shall oversee the humane detention, transport, and care of individuals held under judicial authority, observing and preserving the Rights guaranteed by this Charter.

c. Observation Division

Responsible for monitoring compliance with judicial injunctions and procedural directives. The Observation Division shall not have investigative authority. It may act only under direct, written instructions from a judge or panel of judges.

D.3. Limitations

The Judicial Enforcement Service shall not carry out general law enforcement. It exists to protect the integrity of the Judicial Branch and the Rights of those interacting with it.

Directors, Sub-Directors, Officers, and Deputies of the service are barred from conducting investigations, except for the legitimate activities of the Observation Division, as outlined here. They may arrest or detain individuals only when acting under a signed judicial warrant, or when responding to a clear and immediate threat to life, physical safety, or the integrity of Judicial facilities. In the case of clear and immediate threats, such arrests must be publicly reviewed by a judge who was not involved in the matter, randomly selected from a standing panel of District and Provincial Judges approved in advance by the Chief Justice. This review must occur within three (3) days to ensure that sufficient grounds existed for the arrest.Any person arrested without a warrant in this way is to be remanded to Executive Branch law enforcement within twenty-four (24) hours.

The Service and its members are similarly constrained in the case of searches. As noted in the Civil Rights enumerated in this Charter, they may only search or seize property with a properly executed and signed warrant and upon presentation under oath of Probable Cause to believe that a crime or evasion of a court-ordered remedy has been or is in the process of being committed or violated.
