A federal judge warned of “consequences” if the Trump administration violated court orders, but did not specify what those consequences would be or what it would take for the judge to enact them.

Last I checked he can’t be charged with anything as sitting President, not that it can’t be enforced. The SC said that as long as he’s acting in the official capacity of President, and they’re the only ones that can define that on a case by case basis, then it’s official and legal. It’ll be his subordinates that’ll be charged.
Edit: even my grasp of the situation here seems flimsy to me, so someone more dialed in or informed feel free to re-educate me on the subject.
Theoretically, you can still sue the office of the President, just not Trump himself.
So, you know. You can cost the taxpayers money, but not the person making the terrible costly decisions
Whichever way it works. The end result is the same.
