From the what-separation-of-powers department:
The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:
The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.
The NY Post adds:
The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

Republicans have been abusing them since about the time of Teddy Roosevelt:

They've been on the decline in Democratic years, though.
... not that I support either of these bastard parties, but you seem so proud of your incorrect argument.

Teddy Roosevelt is a pretty funny example of "Republican abuse." While he was originally a Republican, he did a lot of very unconservative things like trust-busting and actually resigned from the party to run against his successor Taft, in the process torpedoing both of them and getting Democrat Woodrow Wilson elected.
Just because he has an (R) next to his name doesn't mean he's the same as a current Republican. Terms change over time. Lincoln was a Republican, too.
