The controlling provision of federal immigration law, Section 1182(f), could not be clearer:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

sounds like the judge doesn't understand how the system works or how the law reads ...but this is what we've come to expect from so-called progressive justices is it not? Making decisions based on the desired policy result and not the law.
In theory, a judge could find that law you cited, to be unconstitutional. It doesn't sound like that was the case here, from Detbuch's post, it sure seems like the judge struck down the ban because he doesn't like it.
