Some then took over the sidewalk in front of the White House in what may be the first civil disobedience at the White House in Trump's term.

Dulles Airport gets protest of Trumps' Muslim Ban 2.0

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 03/18/2017 - 16:34

On the 18th of March, protesters gathered at Dulles International Airport against Donald Trump's revised Muslim travel ban, the one that was supposed to go into effect two days earlier. Federal courts have again blocked Trump's racist Muslim ban in cases filed by Maryland and Hawaii. Trump has appealed, but his big mouth is getting him into trouble with judges frowning on such statements as that he really wanted the first version with its explicit religious test.
