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.

neither you (I assume) nor I are lawyers.
asking laymen to 'read the law' is like asking the milkman to read my python code....
I admit I don't know how to parse laws and legal documents. do you have such powers? somehow, I seriously doubt it.
(hint: even lawyers with decades of experience disagree about matters of law. why you think its simple: that tells us a lot about how your mind works, I guess. nothing in 'law' is simple. nothing!)

Seriously, read it. It is quite simple. (f) is the bit you're looking for. Barring some case law between when Clinton did the exact same thing and now, there's not a chance in hell those judges' rulings will stand. And they knew it.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
