“The practical effect,” the court wrote, “is to enjoin all law enforcement officers within the Executive Branch.”
And that’s supposed to be a bad thing, when the head of the Executive Branch openly encourages and even demands exactly the kinds of illegality the order restricts?

Trump issues an order for the arrest and criminal prosecution of members of Congress who made a video reminding soldiers and sailors that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and shouldn't implement illegal orders. Trump's conduct is unabashed fascism.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

The data sharply contradicts trump's portrayal of ICE raids as an effort to "fight crime and target the worst of the worst”.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.
