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.

In which case the proper course of action is to go to a higher court and get the stay reversed, rather then ignore the Judge.

Normally I'd agree but these judges made this ruling with every intention of it being overturned. They're simply trying to buy time for immigrants to return because when they do the order and the law it's based on no longer apply. They knowingly made illegal rulings for strategic reasons and such rulings should be ignored.

All the judges are a bunch of SJWs. ::rolleyes::
And this from the guy who claims you gotta have "world class critical thinking skills" [theregister.co.uk] if you are a conservative on teh internets.

Four out of how many? Yeah, they're wrong and they knew they were wrong when they handed down the decisions. They didn't do it because they were right but to allow those outside of the country time to return.

Are you sure that there are no conflicting laws, treaties, or something in the Constitution? Even if what you say is true, America is a common law jurisdiction, which means Judges interpret the law and can even make law at times. The way it works is the Judges decision stands unless a higher Judge overrides or the Legislature (Congress) overrides or in the most extreme case, the Constitution is amended.
Just because some petty cop for hire doesn't agree with the Judge(s), doesn't mean that they're free to interpret the law and ignore it, at least if America is a country of law.
