A politician who knowingly signs illegal orders should be tarred,
feathered and immediately permanently removed from office.

Nobody knows if it is illegal. It was enjoined because a judge
thought it might be. It's still to be decided.

Perhaps, but what you can legally do is sue them under 42USC1983

Which according to cases adjudicated by SCOTUS:
Can be brought against any state, county or city official, officer, or
employee
That such individuals have NO immunity from such a suit
That if successful the individual(s) sued are PERSONALLY liable for payment
of any awards granted.

In short, you are suing the person, not their office, position or job, and
thus have no immunity or protection from either the suit or the consequences
of such a suit.

While I'm not aware of any specific ruling by SCOTUS on this matter it would
be consistent that they couldn't use government resources or personal in
their defense.
