Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis stood her ground, opposing the transfer, arguing the accused were not federal officials, “His [Shafer’s] position is the equivalent of claiming that a homemade badge could transform him into a genuine United States Marshal with all the powers afforded that role.”
