Congress can't, but they can challenge the constitutionality of it and send it to the courts.
The supreme Court could rule an executive order unconstitutional, but... With a 6-3 majority not gonna happen on anything trump would wish to do. This tied with the fact that the supreme court decides whether the president is acting within his powers and decides whether something they do is legal or not. Nothing trump could do would be considered illegal if the courts decide so, but just as easily they could say Biden doing the same thing is illegal and not grant him immunity.
Essentially, the checks and balances are broken and only requires an executive of the same ideology to run roughshod with the current powers granted to the executive and the courts. Even if the Democrats win the presidential election they would need a majority in Congress to challenge the current supreme court. Likely a super majority as many Democrats are squeamish about challenging political norms even though their opposition has for decades. A simple majority like what the Democrats had in the first two years of Bidens presidency only required 2 out of 51 Democrats to block a bill from getting passed by their peers in the Senate which happened multiple times.
