I think you are talking of different types. The Marines are able to detain anyone attacking Federal property or personnel and then turn them over to Federal or civilian law enforcement.A detention of temporary restraint is a Seizure.
The Marines are not permitted to detain citizens for matters that the police would normally handle, however,
The Posse Comitatus Act: This federal law generally prohibits the use of the U.S. military, including the Marines, from acting in a civilian law enforcement capacity, such as making arrests.
