They already said he has total immunity for official acts. What are they going to do when they ask him to stop doing something and he doesn't? It's not like they can punish him for it.

Yes, immunity means there are zero downsides for him to try illegal things. That doesn't legalize illegal orders, it just means they all have to wait for their day in court.

But what happens after the day in court? What is to stop him carrying on with the illegal policies?

[outer_web]

A few things but your concern is totally valid; we are in a bad place if he does not back down.

1. Executive power has limits. E.g. civil litigation and state law are largely outside his jurisdiction.

2. Agents of the government must follow the law, even if it contradicts an exective order. They open themselves to criminal liability if they don't.

3. Congress. Haha just kidding that's only in the timeline where Harambe is still alive.

1. Order illegal activity carried out by loyal minions

2. Minions jailed for illegal activities

3. Pardon minions, law-abiding judicial forces to drop prosection

4. Go to 1

What makes it so he has to wait? He’ll make illegal orders, they’ll be carried out, the courts will say no, he’ll ignore them, repeat.
