If that order is lawful, then it probably has a chargeable crime behind it. If it doesn't, then there should be limit.
Compelling someone to open a phone with a fingerprint is far from settled law. It should be litigated properly as part of the trial rather than with a "contempt" charge.
In this instance, it is the court that is attempting to end run an unsettled area of the law using "contempt".
