Just to be clear, this appeals ruling mostly reversed the original decision of the original court. The original court's decision applied 10 different restrictions on government officials. The 5th circuit (itself widely known to be conservative) overturned nine of those ten restrictions, and also overturned many of the agencies they apply to.

The appeals ruling, therefore, is being interpreted here (and, in many cases, intentionally spun) in a way exactly opposite to what it actually found, which is the government largely acted correctly.
