Hillary Clinton has spoken out in support of protesters demonstrating against President Trump’s executive order temporarily banning refugees and immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries.
On Saturday evening, she wrote on Twitter, “I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight defending our values & our Constitution. This is not who we are.”
Meanwhile, Trump defended his controversial move to the public, tweeting on Sunday, “Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!” (3,all)
According to NPR, thousands of people protested his action at airports across the country; some had notable attendees such as city mayor Marty Walsh and Senator Elizabeth Warren at Boston’s Logan International airport.
Lawyers battling against the temporary ban achieved a victory Saturday night when, according to USA Today, “a U.S. District judge in Brooklyn granted an emergency stay...to those who have already arrived in the U.S. and those who are in transit who hold valid visas.”
The media outlet says that the DHS had at one point reported that 109 visitors at U.S. airports and 173 foreigners headed to the U.S. were kept from proceeding with their travels due to the ban.
