He ignored the court and pushed for Indian removal.

Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) and continued to support removal policies (famously paraphrased as, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it"), leading to the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears.
