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.
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"

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.
