19. there's no rule in that order to deport anyone

..that's still at the discretion of the agency.

The court doesn't have some separate means deport to anyone, no budget for that, no real authority or ability to actually put anyone on a plane. That responsibility lies with the government agency, which ultimately answers to the president.

The Director of ICE is appointed at the sub-cabinet level by the President of the United States, confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
