Exception to Competitive Examining Rules for U.S. Marshals Service Appointments
On July 10, 2018, President Trump signed Executive Order 13842, which established an exception to federal competitive examining rules for certain positions within the United States Marshals Service at the Department of Justice. The order allows the Marshals Service to appoint individuals to specified positions without following standard competitive civil service procedures. This changes the hiring process for affected positions within the federal law enforcement agency.
