From the what-separation-of-powers department:
The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:
The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.
The NY Post adds:
The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

Federal employees have an obligation to follow the law. By not following a judge's lawful orders they are in violation of the law.

Everyone does. Who you work for has nothing to do with it, save for special powers granted by certain occupations (eg law enforcement).

No, your boss is violating the law.

If you violate the law, you violate the law. If you ask someone to violate the law, you also violate the law.
Why is that complicated?
