DHS made it fairly clear that they did not feel bound to obey any court orders. CBP continued to deny all access to counsel, detain people, and deport them in direct contravention to the court’s order, citing “upper management,” and the DHS made a formal (but confusing) statement that they would continue to follow the President’s orders
It sounds plausible enough. If this is true, the more that comes to light, the more push there's going to be against them. If he tries that LGBT stuff, or "self deportation" that's going to light a huge fire. Fuck, we don't need another civil war.
I doubt Trump is smart enough to attempt to create a dissatisfaction with protests like the article implies.

Speculation, mostly unfounded
WASHINGTON — The White House said on Monday that President Trump would leave in place a 2014 Obama administration order that created new workplace protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.In a statement issued in response to growing questions about whether Mr. Trump would reverse the Obama order, the White House said the president was proud to embrace gay rights.“President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of L.G.B.T.Q. rights, just as he was throughout the election,” the statement said. “The president is proud to have been the first ever G.O.P. nominee to mention the L.G.B.T.Q. community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression.”
Critical analysis or fear mongering?
