The APA provides a way for courts to block - if they choose - action by administrative agencies.  Many District and Circuit Judges have done so - particularly regarding Trump administration immigration-related decisions.  Their hands have often been stayed by a majority of the Supreme Court as seen in the "public charge" rule, a stay to which Justice Sonia Sotomayor has passionately objected.

But in the main the Court's current majority has seen in the APA a tool to stem action by administrative agencies.
