They don't need to file a lawsuit, they can garnish your wages and freeze your bank accounts.

  But if you are already out of state? They surely need to file a motion to garnish wages, which pretty much proves you are no longer a resident. Good luck attempting to garnish wages three states away.

    I believe It doesn’t work that way. Executive action generally does not require filing things with the courts. They simply issue an administrative order, and the private parties especially the banks simply comply. Yes, you can initiate a court action to fight it.

    The facts on the ground demonstrate that whatever you think about what proves what, and how hard it would be to garnish wages three states away, that isn't how things happen. Rich, sophisticated people with good lawyers can and do have a big hassle convincing New York tax collectors that they are no longer residents. If it was just as easy is disappearing, these people would do it. They spend tens of thousands of dollars (if not more) convincing New York that they aren't residents. If they could do it more cheaply, they would. And if the facts on the ground don't match your theory, then your theory is wrong.
