So does the president run the country or the judiciary?

If the judiciary runs the country it means that we've got as many Presidents of the United States as there are federal courts.

Right. Judicial activism against the Constitutional separation of powers needs to have this judge arrested and tried for treasonous behavior. The FA, a part od the Executive branch, should be directed by the President to ignore the Federal Judge’s orders and continue to carry out the lawful deportation of illegal aliens who should have no standing in any court at this time.

Sure! This guy is a “Holder’s Person,” so he has “special powers!”

Neither. It is supposed to be We The People via Congress.

There's a pretty big chance that's what's going to kick off the next Civil War.
The fact of the matter is that the Constitution in Article 4, Section 4 mandates that the federal government protect the several States from invasion — and if the President were to actively enforce this, especially militarily (which is infinitely more justifiable than war with Russia, Syria, Iran, [Insert Middle-East Country]), the courts would trip over themselves to invalidate those orders and, likely, the Congress would move to impeach… which is the height of irony: Trump's failure to repel the ongoing invasion [along with the past 20-years worth of presidents] actually is an impeachable offense, but that's the one thing where they can't impeach him otherwise it ideologically works against them and shows them to be complicit.

Even more fun is to contemplate the possibility of such officials trying to impeach him for upholding and honoring the Constitution: in the above scenario, the president would be working to end an invasion as per the Constitution, therefore an attempt to remove him for this would be both undermining/betraying the Constitution as well as providing aid and comfort to the enemies of the states. That is treason, and the Congress is not privileged from arrest for treason, and so instigating the above would be a good way to clear out politicians who are not loyal to the Constitution as their oath requires.

three branches, executive and judicial and legislative. Separation of powers. However, the court should have ruled and let the executive branch execute the ruling.

______
At times it’s almost like elections are just for show to make us feel like we have some say in the governing of our country.
