alt Hacker News> But the same question remains. Who’s going to enforce it?
Whoever did or didn't before. It's got nothing to do with this executive order as far as I can see.

Seems like it needs to be spelled out for you: Enforcement of federal law is overseen by the DOJ, an executive department bound by this very EO.
Do you see it now?

Do i understand corretly?
The executive shall enforce orders, because it is bound by laws to do so, which for the executive can only be interpreted by the president?
Sounds like a power grab to me.

Before this EO the executive branch policy on court orders was "always listen to them." This EO changes that to "ignore court orders if they conflict with what the president wants"
