The executive branch.

The executive branch enforces the laws. The judicial branch does nothing more than interpret them.
For example, congress passes a law making it illegal to cut down pine trees, and the president signs it. TA DA!!! It's a law. What happens next? Nothing, unless the executive branch (specifically, some administrative agency that works for the president) goes out and enforces the law -- e.g., brings a lawsuit, imposes a fine, or whatever the law permits. The violator may fight the administrative action, and it may go to court -- but all the judge will do is write an opinion about what the right application of the law is. What happens next? Nothing, unless the executive branch enforces that opinion.

Each branch has its own agencies - you'd have to be more specific about which laws you are referring to.
