the administration is testing the extent to which the DHS (and other executive agencies) can act and ignore orders from the other branches of government. This is as serious as it can possibly get: all of the arguments about whether order X or Y is unconstitutional mean nothing if elements of the government are executing them and the courts are being ignored.
Yesterday was the trial balloon for a coup d’état against the United States. It gave them useful information.

The part about the Rosneft sale... yeah there's a huge oil connection here. I don't know all the details but the broad outlines are clear enough.
Tillerson at State, ex Exxon CEO... Exxon has drilling rights to more land in Russia than they they have in the whole rest of the world combined, BUT!, they CAN'T DRILL IT, because of our sanctions. Simply put, this whole Russia-Tillerson thing is about getting sanctions lifted so Exxon can drill. I would guess the Rosneft deal plays into that somehow so that Exxon wherewithal can get moving on pumping that oil.
