That would break the foreign key constraint, right?
PostgreSQL cannot allow that.
I believe the OP is disabling all triggers including system ones if I
follow correctly and possibly running a foul of;
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html
" Disabling or enabling internally generated constraint triggers
requires superuser privileges; it should be done with caution since of
course the integrity of the constraint cannot be guaranteed if the
triggers are not executed."
