Seizing all the evidence to interfere with a legal proceeding. This seems perfectly legit to me! /s I'd hope that the U.S. Marshals [as a service] would have people fired for this and a Judge would find whoever ordered this to be in contempt. However, I really expect this just to be ignored beyond the ACLU/News reporting on it. :/

At the very least if this does go to court, the judge is very likely to call BS.

Depends entirely on the judge whose bench it ends up before.
