Tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in US cities and at major airports as President Donald Trump’s executive order banning people from predominantly Muslim countries continued to sow chaos and outrage across the country.
Travelers were stranded in the United States and around the world and anxious families were searching for relatives at international airports for the second day as authorities struggled to enforce Trump’s sweeping immigration order.
A second wave of protests erupted in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Boston and elsewhere on Sunday afternoon after rallies were held at US airports the day before where people were detained upon arrival even if they held valid visas or refugee permits.
Outside the White House on Sunday, several thousand demonstrators denounced the new president, carrying signs such as “Deport Trump” and “Fear is a terrible thing for a nation’s soul.”
