From what I read, an injunction is served by a U.S. Marshall, but a U.S. Marshall is an officer of the U.S. Government. In essence, the government would be serving itself. Citizens can sue the government only if the government allows them to do so!

Sounds like a good idea, but not sure it's a possibility.

Served By: The injunction or order is served by a U.S. Marshal or another person, presumably a law enforcement officer, specifically appointed by the court in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4.1(a).

in order to seek an injunction. It has to be someone or something that can demonstrate actual harm that is or is likely to be caused by the action sought to be enjoined. That's not an easy hurdle in this instance.
