Congress can impeach a president for failing to obey the Supreme Court. Such actions are generally considered "high crimes and misdemeanors". Defying a court order is seen as violating the oath of office and a breach of the constitutional separation of powers, placing the president above the law.

It is not a crime to seek asylum at the US border. The US will grant asylum if one is unable to return to his or her home country due to persecution or imminent danger. However, there are not enough asylum officers. As a result, each asylum case takes 5 to 7 years to be adjudicated.
