Yes, U.S. Marshals were involved in the arrest of Vietnam War draft dodgers during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The government sought to enforce draft laws, and U.S. Marshals played a role in apprehending individuals who had evaded military service. This often included those who had fled to Canada or gone into hiding. The arrests were part of broader efforts to address draft resistance during a highly controversial war.
