Do those regulations often involve the creation and protection of the profit motive for foreign black markets?

Sometimes. Your point?

Look, a lot of people make the mistake you're making.
Not every unjust, stupid, or evil thing is illegal.
Even when something is illegal, that doesn't mean you have standing to challenge it in court, or that a given court has jurisdiction to do anything about it.
Courts (theoretically) follow rules. They can't just randomly set things aside without some basis in those rules. Lawsuits are not a magic universal remedy.
You could definitely argue that courts don't always follow rules, and that the Trump administration is doing everything it can to make that worse, but the changes they're making aren't going to work in your favor, because those changes are in the nature of "we can do whatever we want, and fuck the courts if they don't like it".
