The headline undersells it. He just declared that him and the attorney General have sole ability to interpret laws for the executive branch. That branch includes the law enforcement agencies that would arrest him for committing crimes. That means the FBI couldn't arrest him even if SCOTUS declared him to have done something illegal because him and the AG now interpret legal meaning for the FBI, not SCOTUS.
