Exactly, every court order you give is one they have to ignore, it's one that further delegitimizes the regime. The goal is for the regime to struggle to enact its goals. It desires its people to be high energy, fully committed, and to be seen as essentially legitimate in order to make that happen. If they can't be respected they want to be feared. Hero or villain they're still a major character who gets their way. Deny them that.
You can tell what works by who they attempt to quickly and quietly stop. Lawyers can file lawsuits. Everyone can protest. People can organize their workplace and neighborhood. But also you can just drive 5 under whenever ice is active in an area. You can get their order wrong at a restaurant. Get in the habit of looking for plausibly deniable ways to deny them what they want.
