Trump Airport Protests Live Blog: Protesters across country to challenge Muslim ban

Impact

On Saturday, protests erupted at airports nationwide after President Donald Trump's executive order banning immigrants and refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries left many people detained in immigration limbo or unable to get back into the United States.

Although the American Civil Liberties Union won a temporary stay against Trump's order, the president tweeted on Sunday morning to defend the ban, calling the world a "horrible mess."
