What are the boundaries here regarding judicial and executive power?

Is the federal judge correct here or is he overstepping some of his power or is the executive branch truly overstepping some of their power?

I think this has to be settled quickly or things are going to turn more chaotic than they already are.

If the judge is overstepping the resolution rests with the legislature (either changing the law, or if the judge is truly ignoring it, impeachment). Or the decision can be appealed. It's not an excuse to ignore the order.

Who is correct is less important than who can enforce an action. Sounds like the DOJ controls the Marshalls that enforce decisions by the judiciary, and the DOJ is controlled by sycophants now that will do Trump’s bidding.
