Protests against Executive Order 13769

Protesters holding signs outside John F. Kennedy International Airport's Terminal 4

In late January and early February 2017, during protests against Executive Order 13769, commonly referred to as the “Muslim ban,” thousands of people gathered at various airports in the United States and around the world to protest the attempt by the Trump administration to prevent the prohibition refugees and visitors from seven countries considered by the administration to be unsafe.[1] According to various sources, more than two thousand people were at the protest at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City[2][3] with other protests appearing at significant international airports and other important sites around the United States. Protests continued daily and internationally through February 6.[4][5][6][7] Protests also continued after a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against parts of the travel ban.[8]
