This isn’t difficult. Judge just needs to hold the Administration’s attorney appearing on behalf of DT/White House in contempt. Lawyer goes to jail until the guy comes back.

I'm more forgiving of (most) lawyers. The lawyers are not in contempt, their client (the Administration) is. We don't throw the lawyers in jail when the suspect skips court after posting bail.
The problem is that our Constitution has no mechanism for the Courts to enforce its orders on the Executive branch.
Congratulations Republicans, you finally broke the country, in your decades-long quest for power, money, and White supremacy.
The people who would arrest the DOJ lawyer are U.S. marshals, who are also part of the DOJ, which is part of the executive branch. So, the courts do not have an enforcement mechanism that does not depend on the executive branch. It's a major flaw in the system.
A judge can deputize anyone to carry out the court's orders. If the marshals refuse, he can recruit state law enforcement officers. Or just use the court's own security officers against anyone physically present in his court room.

How about Donald goes to jail too!

100% - you are right.
I made that comment on Morning Shots earlier. Exactly.
There you go. That works for me!

If that’s the case, the judge can order the marshals to incarcerate the attorney. My guess is that they would not want to be held in contempt too.
Maybe a trip to El Salvador to b held in contempt for the attorneys?
Yep! Take Bondi too!!
Assume Trump can simply pardon them?
Depends on whether it's criminal or civil contempt. If it's civil contempt, it is not pardonable.
