Hundreds of protesters descended on O’Hare International Airport over the weekend to protest President Donald Trump’s executive order banning citizens of several Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

As many as 18 people were detained on Saturday, and at least 24 people were held from passing through O’Hare on Sunday according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Worldview’s Julian Hayda spoke with the protesters.
