Trump's Immigration Order Sparks Protests at Airports Nationwide

— -- Protests erupted at airports nationwide Saturday following the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order placing temporary bans on entry into the U.S. of people from seven Muslim-majority countries.

With 375 travelers affected so far by the travel ban as of Saturday night, according to the Department of Homeland Security -- some being sent back to their originating countries from airports across the U.S., and others being prevented from boarding U.S.-bound flights overseas -- hundreds of people descended upon airports to express support for those affected by the ban and to express disdain for Trump and the executive order.

Additional protests are scheduled for Sunday, as well, at airports across the country.

Below, a rundown of protests that occurred at U.S. airports on Saturday:

PORTLAND, OREGON

Light rail service at Portland International Airport was briefly disrupted by a protest consisting of several dozen people. Many of the protesters chanted and carried signs that read "Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here" and "No ban, no wall, America is for us all."

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

More than 2,000 people descended upon John F. Kennedy International Airport, where 12 refugees were detained.

The scene was so chaotic that the Port Authority shut down the public transportation to the airport in an attempt to restore order, but New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the Port Authority's decision. "The people of New York will have their voices heard," Cuomo said in a statement.

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance joined the protest and called for an hour-long work stoppage with no taxi pickups or drop-offs at the airport, ABC affiliate WABC reported.

During the protests, a Muslim family handed out free coffee as a sign of solidarity. People passed out slices of pizza to protesters, as well.

Dozens protested outside of Philadelphia International Airport after two Syrian families were detained and then placed on flights back home, ABC affiliate WPVI reported.

The crowd included Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, Sen. Bob Casey, Congressman Bob Brady and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, according to WPVI.

Hundreds of protesters converged upon Terminal 5 at O'Hare International Airport, calling for the release of 13 people who were being detained there, ABC affiliate WLS reported.

The woman's sister told WLS that she felt "hopeless" and that there was "nothing" she could do.
