Scenes from around the country:

- Tens of thousands of people flooded Battery Park in downtown Manhattan, New York City, before marching north to Foley Square.
- Boston, 20,000 protesters jammed into Copley Square to protest President Trump’s actions.
- Washington, D.C., thousands rallied in Lafayette Square, across from the White House.
- Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, 500 people protested.
- Cleveland, hundreds marched in and around Hopkins International Airport. Someone shared the story of a Cleveland Clinic internal medicine resident doctor, a citizen of Sudan, who had been returning to work after visiting family overseas when she was detained in a room for 10 hours in New York–and then forced to board a plane back to Saudi Arabia.
- Los Angeles, thousands of protesters converged on the airport. Demonstrators filled the lobby of the international terminal and called for the release of those behind held. People being held were “advised” by federal officials to waive or drop their application for admission and just leave the country “voluntarily”—or else face deportation, which would make it very difficult for them to return to the U.S.
- More protests in: Atlanta, Birmingham, Boise, Las Vegas, San Diego, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C.
