But who will enforce a court order if the executive branch decided to ignore it?

This executive order doesn't change anything about that as far as I can see. If the president says the law means one thing, other executive agencies have to follow that interpretation - but the courts will still do their own thing, and a court order is just as binding whether you agree with it or not (and indeed whether it's legally correct or not).

    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.
