Narrative:
We had [law enforcement personnel] onboard who boarded early. They wanted us to move passengers around them in coach to other seats so the [law enforcement personnel] seated in coach could have more room. This caused issues with passengers around them and asked why they were not letting people sit around them. It was full and caused issues with economy plus seats being the only seats open.even the team leader came back during passenger boarding trying to make sure 'we moved people'. This is not an appropriate conversation to have from [law enforcement personnel] or to put crews in this position when they are to remain anonymous when passengers are onboard.
