US President Donald Trump has attacked the judge who blocked his travel ban, saying Americans should blame the courts "if something happens".
Mr Trump also said he had instructed border officials to check people entering America "very carefully".
The federal appeals court on Saturday rejected the Trump administration's request to reinstate the ban.
The ban, affecting people from seven mainly-Muslim countries, was blocked by Seattle's federal judge on Friday.
This means that Mr Trump's directive will remain suspended and visa holders from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be allowed to enter the US until the full case has been heard.
The White House and two US states challenging the ban have been given a deadline of Monday to present more arguments.
