Is Trump's plan to ignore the Court's decision?

After yesterday, I am not so sure?

Trump begins a crackdown on immigrants and makes some controversial deportations, in one instance arresting a Mom with two kids, who had been here for twenty years.

Then, we have his adviser, Stephen Miller, come on all the news shows yesterday to remind people that the President should not be questioned? It was the stuff of third-world dictators.

But, does Trump have another plan to fight the circuit court's opinion?

Is he simply going to ignore it?

That won't be a problem in the courts. It will still be very bad for immigrants, refugees, etc. But it will be iron clad in courts.

If they ignore the court, Trump and his loyalists are clearly in contempt.
They'd probably start with the underlings and work their way up.
