If it is an illegal order, though, it is their DUTY to not do it. Just like it is everyone's duty to not follow illegal orders.

The whole point of having elected officials is to make them responsible to the constituents. We can vote them out if we don't like their decisions. But we have no control over the appointed bureaucrats.
As I specifically said, it's not their job to make policy decisions, but it is their job to not follow illegal orders.
As always Fred, excellent reading comprehension before commenting on someone's post. Thanks for the contribution and have a good one.
