Yes, but the rank and file are ignoring it. Read that twitter thread. The OGC instructed the U.S. Marshals - who are an arm of the judiciary, not the executive - to take instructions from the U.S. Attorney's office (representatives for the US Government).
So, despite that being fairly crazy, they went to the US Attorney, who initially was going to sign the court order so that they could take it back to the Marshals to be carried out. But then the US Attorney's Office switched positions and refused to sign.
There are rules, there's a system. But if everyone says "#### the rules, #### the system", that doesn't matter much, and that's how you pull off a coup.
