Congress could end this lawlessness in one day, but the Republicans refuse to hold anyone in this administration accountable. I'm afraid we're stuck until we replace enough Congress members.
Depends on the court and the order. Fairly commonly (as occurred in the case where this list was enumerated after compliance with the preceding order was acheived by threat of sanctions), the first consequence of violating an order will be a renewed order with with a threat of sanctions (e.g., a show cause hearing as to why you should not be punished if you fail to compmy by a certain time), with potentially compensation sought by the opposing party for any costs accrued because of your noncompliance, but no punitive sanctions if you comply timely after the second order on the matter, though the nature of the order, the significant of noncompliance on the process of the case, the judge, the opposing party (while they don't order sanctions, they can request them and make a case), and other factors effect this—one of those factors being whether the judge believes that you are a serial offender who has been put on notice about the same kind of failure.
This list by itself own description seems to have been compiled rapidly by surveying other judges after the order for conpliance or a show cause hearing and perhaps even after compliance occurred. And now its available to be pointed too in other cases.
I mean, depends- if I steal from my employer I go to jail, if my employer steals my wages they get a fine.
If I murder someone in cold blood on the street, I might not make it off the scene before getting gunned down; if a government agent summarily executes a protester, they might get a couple days vacation and a heft goFundme payout.
Nothing new there, though... if, for instance, in 1955 a random black kid has some white guys think he looked at the wrong woman in the wrong way, he might get violently killed that day; the men who do that killing might never face -any- consequences.
So the answer to your question is highly variable and has been for all of the time that anyone I know has been alive. The application of law in the US is and has always been mostly determined by class and race.
Federal court orders (judicial branch) are enforced by federal law enforcement such as marshals, FBI, ATF, and so on (executive branch).
If the executive branch is lawless, then there’s selective enforcement. We are seeing the emergence of the dual state. Authoritarianism that follows the law sometimes so it sorta looks legitimate but sometimes isn’t at all legitimate.

Republican party openly supports this. It is not just refusal to hold them accountable, it is active, open and complete support.
So what happens normally with people who violate court orders in the USA? Wouldn't they get fined and eventually the police arrests them?
