They should be fired for cause. Government employees are there to serve the public, not their own wishes.
Trump would be justified to ignore the court.

Alito Calls Supreme Court Block of Venezuelan Gang Deportations ‘Legally Questionable’
The high court shunned normal procedure in blocking the removals, Justice Samuel Alito said in a dissent joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito filed a strongly worded dissent from the court’s order issued early April 19 that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting alleged members of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
The dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, was posted on the court’s website early on April 20.
“In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order,” Alito wrote.
Is it Time to Ignore the Judiciary?
It seems clear to me that the broad scope and speed of the administration’s actions have knocked the sense out of the media, the Democrats, and, alas, the judiciary. They cannot seem to process the swift and expansive range of change without ma...
So it appears that Alito is saying the Court is not following or allowing Due Process, which the Court is saying (rightfully so) that Trump is failing to provide for those deported.Trump would be justified to ignore the court.

I was once, but am no longer stunned by the ignorance of Americans who should know better. So this guy says that since one administration violated established law, then another administration has a green light to do the same. I'm thankful we have the Constitution, otherwise, it would appear that mob rule would be rampant.
Quote: "This Court has since repeatedly declared, in no uncertain terms, that “once an alien enters the country, the legal circumstance changes” because our Constitution provides due process protections to “all‘persons’ within the United States, including aliens, whether their presence here is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent.” Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 693 (2001); see also Mathews v. Diaz, 426 U.S. 67, 77 (1976) (“There are literally millions of aliens within the jurisdiction of the United States. The Fifth Amendment . . . protects every one of these persons . . . . Even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.”)."
"James Madison wrote that “[a]liens are not more parties to the laws than they are parties to the Constitution; yet it will not be disputed that, as they owe, on one hand, a temporary obedience, they are entitled, in return, to their protection and advantage.” Madison’s Report on the Virginia Resolutions, in IV THE DEBATES IN THE SEVERAL STATE CONVENTIONS, ON THE ADOPTION OF THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION 546, 556 (Jonathan Elliot ed., 1836)."
BTW, this Amicus Brief was published in January 2020, no doubt over problems with Trump's first term.
He may have to declare a national emergency and impose martial law.
I don't believe doing that turns off the Constitution, otherwise, they'd do it all the time. Having said that, you and I both know that Presidents and Congress ignore and get away with doing things that they have no Constitutional authority to do. Congress has become pathetically weak with no backbone.
