In this context, the executive branch is literally saying they don’t want to do their job

That seems... tenuous? This strikes me as a traffic-ticket kind of situation where there are multiple equally legal courses of action that the official can choose to apply. If the department is charged with enforcing the terms of a loan contract and that contract contains a cancellation clause, on what basis is the court ruling that invoking cancellation is any different from acceptable actions like invoking a lien?
