If the White House had any brains among them they're rescind and re-issue the order with clear direction to the effect that it doesn't apply to people with existing visas. Of course, they won't, because that would be an admission that they made a mistake.
As for the stay, I don't know how the jurisdiction of various US courts works, but it seems strange that a judge in Brooklyn has the authority to singlehandedly stay the effect of an executive order. You'd think they'd be more along the lines of reading it down so as not to apply in a particular case. Guess we'll see what happens; at least it's in front of the Court now, so one hopes that means it gets fast tracked to the SCOTUS and they get the opportunity to reinstate some sanity.
