LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Additional demonstrations are planned Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport – the seventh busiest airport in the world – in opposition of President Donald Trump’s refugee travel ban.

Protesters are expected to arrive at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for separate demonstrations against the president’s executive order barring citizens from predominantly Muslim nations entry into the U.S.

This comes even as progress has been made to halt the action in part as a federal judge issued a stay, temporarily halting officials from deporting individuals with valid visas, or an approved refugee application from the seven nations affected.
