Executive Privilege
This administration believes that when it comes to foreign policy and national security, its powers are absolutely limitless, and not subject to congressional or judicial oversight.
The remedy is simple. Congress can refuse to vote money for any department which fails to comply with the law. When executive branch employees realize they aren't going to get paid, their loyalty to POTUS will vanish. Judges can also jail these employees for contempt. Once these officials have spent a few nights in a cell for spouting nonsense in court, they will come to their senses.
Of course congressmen and judges know all this. They don't wish to enforce the law.
