A federal judge issued an injunction against enforcement of part of the executive order. In a release titled "Response To Recent Litigation," DHS announced that it would continue to enforce the order.

That sounds for all the world like the executive branch rejecting the authority of the judicial branch.

The injunction was only about travelers in flight or already landed. Most of those have been released. The statement says "in a foreign land" and "without ties to the United States" - which is outside of what the injunction applies to.

Yes, because the stay is not permanent. It only applies to those in transit and those affected now.

The statement then goes on to say:

"The Department of Homeland Security will comply with judicial orders..."

So no, the executive branch is not rejecting the authority of the judicial branch.

IANAL but the injunction was narrow in scope. Nothing in the DHS response contradicts that.

The very first line implies that the injunction will be ignored. If they didn't want that interpreted that way, then they should have definitely written it differently.
