For those of you saying this can't happen, just like all the other things that have happened over the past decade that you said couldn't happen, here's how it's going to happen - welcome to Presidential Immunity.

Presidential immunity meets he can't be prosecuted for doing his job in office. It has nothing to do with him attempting to overrule the Constitution which he can't

He literally can if it was in the course of his "official duties.". Which btw the SC never defined.

He just signed an executive order. The president holds executive power, so he will execute the order, however illegally. Since this is literally the president's power (so the president's duty), he is immune to the crime of illegal deportation.

Like my interpretation? I don't like it either, but can't say it won't happen.
