On Friday night, a federal judge in Seattle temporarily halted the enforcement of President Trump’s executive order on immigration. By Saturday, federal officials had announced they would be complying with the ruling, and airlines said they would resume boarding travelers covered under the ban.

The Department of Homeland Security “has suspended any and all actions implementing the affected sections of the Executive Order,” a department spokeswoman said in a statement. Accordingly, department officials are no longer flagging travelers simply because they are from the seven majority-Muslim countries temporarily barred by Trump’s order.

Meanwhile, a State Department spokesperson tells NPR that officials with the department are also adhering to the decision. The department has provisionally revoked somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 individuals’ visas, according to different accounts; under Saturday’s announcement, the State Department says that move has been reversed — and that “individuals with visas that were not physically cancelled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid.”

The State Department said it is working closely with DHS and legal teams on complying with Judge James Robart’s decision, which suspends the nationwide enforcement of Trump’s order while a case brought by the states of Washington and Minnesota is heard in court.

Trump, for his part, tweeted a broadside Saturday morning against Judge Robart.

“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!” Trump tweeted.

In a subsequent tweet, Trump derided Robart as a “so-called judge,” whose decision “is ridiculous and will be overturned!” Robart, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, is the federal judge presiding over the U.S. District Court in western Washington state.

In a statement released Friday, the White House also called Robart’s stay an “outrageous order.” Later, as NPR’s Rebecca Hersher noted, the statement was soon changed to remove the word “outrageous.”

But the thrust of the message remained the same: The White House said the Justice Department will challenge the judge’s decision.

In the meantime, airlines have quickly responded to the court order.

Qatar Airways, which services many of the predominantly Middle Eastern countries barred by Trump, announced that it had been directed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to board nationals with valid documents from Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

The airline also noted:

“All refugees seeking admission presenting a valid, unexpired U.S. visa or Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) card (Green Card) will be permitted to travel to the United States and will be processed accordingly upon arrival.”

But Qatar Airways wasn’t the only airline to release such an announcement Saturday. Lufthansa, Germany’s largest airline, announced that on the basis of the federal court ruling it would also permit the affected travelers to fly to the U.S.

“However,” Lufthansa was careful to note, “short notice changes to the immigration regulations may occur at any time. The final decision regarding immigration lies with the US authorities.”

In Cairo, airport authorities received a notification Saturday from U.S. officials that they should also halt the enforcement of Trump’s travel ban. And Reuters reports that Emirates and Etihad Airways said Saturday they would do so, as well.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., multiple media outlets report that CBP spoke with U.S. airlines on a conference call Friday, informing them that after the federal judge’s ruling that it was “back to business as usual.”

CNN adds: “The government was in the process of reinstating visas, the [airline] executive said, adding that airlines would start removing travel alerts from their websites and getting messages out to customers to notify them of the change.”

On Friday, NPR’s Rebecca Hersher reported that there have been differing accounts of how many visas, exactly, have been revoked since the executive order:

“The State Department said [Friday] ‘roughly 60,000 individuals’ visas were provisionally revoked’ as a result of Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order barring refugees from seven countries.

“That number is considerably lower than the number given by a Justice Department attorney, who said today in federal court in Virginia that 100,000 visas were revoked as a result of the order, as Carmel Delshad of NPR station WAMU reported.”

Beyond the case brought by the states of Minnesota and Washington, three other states — Massachusetts, New York and Virginia — have also sued the federal government over Trump’s executive order.
