The Legislature creates the laws.
The Judicial interprets those laws.
The Executive carries out and acts on those laws.
It doesn't matter what the courts say if no one is willing to enforce it, or actively tries not to.
This eventually leads to a "make me" moment, such as when DOGE showed up and physically started pushing people out.
Ultimately this is a "the state is the monopoly of violence" discussion, which is the ultimate form of "make me". If no one is enforcing a court ruling, then someone will have to step up, to either carry it out, or to compel the Executive to do so.
