Scores of protests were planned across the nation Sunday as angry immigrant advocates pressed their demand for an end to President Trump's executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
We will not stop until this executive order is canceled and we arrive at common-sense, immigration reform that takes into account the lives of immigrant and refugee families, said Michelle LaRue, Virginia state director for the advocacy group CASA, which was planning to protest at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
Protesters swarmed major airports across the nation Saturday. In Chicago, thousands of demonstrators gathered at O'Hare International Airport to protest the Trump order. In New York, more than 2,000 gathered protesters at John F. Kennedy Airport chanted "let them in!" At Los Angeles International Airport, 200 protesters, shouted, "No Trump, No KKK, No fascist USA."
More protests were planned Sunday in cities large and small, from Los Angeles to Washington, from Bangor, Maine to Boise, Idaho.
