Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's government moved swiftly Saturday to comply with a federal judge's order halting his immigration ban -- even as Trump denounced the judge.
The Department of Homeland Security announced it has suspended all actions to implement the immigration order and will resume standard inspections of travelers as it did prior to the signing of the travel ban.
Also, a State Department official told CNN the department has reversed the cancellation of visas that were provisionally revoked following the President's executive order last week -- so long as those visas were not stamped or marked as canceled.
The State Department has said fewer than 60,000 visas were revoked since the signing of the order. It was not immediately clear how many from that group will continue to be without their visas because their visas were physically canceled.
Following the judge's ruling -- and before the government's announcements Saturday morning -- the International Air Transportation Association, a worldwide airline industry trade group, wrote to its members to follow procedures "as if the executive order never existed."

Trump is just now learning about the Judiciary Branch. He'll have many other chances to learn more about it soon.

See what that "so-called judge" did? Your little Executive Orders are subject to review by the Judiciary Branch, as you may wish to note. Perhaps you should run them by someone with constitutional law experience hereafter, eh? Mr. Bannon does not have that experience, you see. Ask someone else.
