Even if they didn’t, what mechanism does SCOTUS have to actually force him to do something or not do something?

The judicial branch is allegedly the last line of defense against authoritarianism by determining if laws/EOs are unconstitutional. Clearly they have neglected their duty to serve the American people

Let’s say they say it’s unconstitutional. What action will they take in order to force the executive branch to comply?

Constitutionally, they can issue a writ of mandamus which compels the executive to carry out whatever actions are in the writ In reality, absolutely nothing, the executive controls the military
