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.

It's obvious that some Muslims would also like to get out of those hellholes, but at least they are not asked to convert or be beheaded on the spot
Not entirely. Islam is split in two groups (Shia and Sunni). They hate each other just as much as the three main groups of Abrahamic religions (Christians, Jews and Muslims). That is, the extremists want to kill anyone from the other groups, and the moderates can live peacefully together.

Its not just shia and sunni, islam is hugely fragmented, much more than christianity.
For example, there are sufis, which are the source of their greatest artists and poets and are also universally looked down on.
And within the sunnis there are qutbists and whabbi who are the ultra-crazy and are nearly as happy to murder mainstream sunnis as they are to murder shias.
