I don't know the specofics.about the US, but other countries have legal means to take government dwxisions to court and - depending on the issue - a least force a delay on the order until the court decision has been reached. I would be surprised if the US had no such mechanism to defend against illegal or unjust executive orders.

The US does have such a mechanism. There are requirements to be eligible to start that court case and requirements a judge is supposed to examine before they delay the executive decision. I'm guessing some of those requirements weren't satisfied here. This is with reference to illegal orders. As for unjust orders that happen to be allowed by the applicable laws, that's not a situation the courts can remedy.
