Mr Combs' trial will take place in front of US District Judge Arun Subramanian at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouse in lower Manhattan.

Former Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who has become increasingly popular in right-wing circles online, has also championed Kirk’s case, posting Instagram video of himself and Wilson consoling the deputy at the courthouse after trial.

Supporters gathered outside the courthouse on Friday too.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that several judges witnessed the arrest and that Dugan would be arraigned this morning in the federal courthouse.

Another responsibility of the Marshals Service is protecting courthouses and judicial officers.
