April 10, 2024

In late January and early February 2017, during protests against Executive Order 13769, thousands of people gathered at various airports in the United States and around the world to prevent the returning of refugees and other visitors from seven countries considered to be unsafe.[1] According to various sources, more than two thousand people were at the protest at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City[2][3] with other protests appearing at significant international airports and other important sites around the United States. Protests continued daily and internationally through February 6.[4][5][6][7] Protests also continued after a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against parts of the travel ban.[8]

Background edit

Main article: Executive Order 13769

On January 27, President Trump signed an executive order which created a suspension of admissions of all refugees entering the United States for 120 days and an indefinite block for Syrian refugees.[9] The order also blocked citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen from entering the U.S. for 90 days.[9] Green card holders from these countries were also affected.[10]

Approximately 27 air passengers coming into airports around the United States were either detained or sent home on January 28.[10] By January 29, an estimated 375 travelers had been affected by the order.[11] Two Iraqi detainees were released from the JFK airport, and as of 6 p.m. (local) 11 remained.[10] On January 29, there were still two detainees left inside the airport.[12] One was Hameed Jhalid Darweesh, an Iraqi interpreter for the United States Army.[13] Darweesh was held for twelve hours without being allowed to see his lawyers.[14] Two elderly and disabled Iranian citizens with green cards were detained for hours at Washington Dulles International Airport.[15] President Trump told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) that Christian refugees will be given priority in terms of refugee status in the United States.[16]

New York City edit

'Trump Immigration Order Sparks Protests at NY Airport' report from Voice of America

The protest started January 28, with a small group[17] of around thirty people[33] sometime near 11 a.m. EST.[34] Protesters gathered in front of Terminal 4, where international arrivals take place.[13] As advocacy groups, such as the New York Immigration Coalition, called out to protesters on social media, the crowd grew.[29] The protesters were gathered to denounce Trump's executive order and to show support for refugees and immigrants.[35] The demonstration grew large enough by sunset that it spread into the parking deck near the terminal.[17] Demonstrators brought signs, chanted slogans and called the action a "Muslim ban".[29] The protesters marched from terminal to terminal.[36] Throughout the day, state representatives, Nydia Velázquez and Jerry Nadler were present to help constituents affected by the ban.[33]

A companion protest sprang up on Staten Island in the evening, taking place in Port Richmond.[37] Another protest took place at Battery Park on Sunday. Chelsea Clinton was one of the protesters at that location.[38] There were several thousand protesters at Battery Park.[39] Protests continued at the JFK airport on Sunday as well.[33]

Other groups involved in the protest included Make the Road New York, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ), Black Latino Asian Caucus members.[40] The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) was also involved in the protests, having expressed anger that the executive order, which would have harmed the prospects of Muslim refugees, was signed on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and groups of Jews broke Sabbath to join the protests.[41][42] From 6 to 7 p.m., taxi drivers of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) stopped picking up passengers at the JFK airport in protest of those detained.[43][44] The taxi boycott resulted in increase Uber pricing as a result of its dynamic pricing model.[45] In the evening, the police were turning away anyone without airplane tickets from using the AirTrain.[17] After 8 p.m., Governor Andrew Cuomo asked that people be allowed to board the Air Train once again.[17]

Late in the evening on January 28, Ann Donnelly, a Federal District court judge in Brooklyn for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York,[9] blocked part of the executive order, "providing immediate relief to dozens stranded at airports around the country."[46] In the U.S. District Courts in Seattle and Virginia, similar rulings were made.[46] This emergency stay will allow affected individuals with valid visas to stay in the US.[47] However, lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and Zachary Manfredi from Yale's Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic caution that individuals detained at the airports could still be transferred to different detention facilities.[47] Reports coming from midnight, January 28, indicated that Legal Aid lawyers were still not given access to clients being held inside of JFK.[36] In Brooklyn, demonstrators waited outside the Federal District court as the case was being decided.[9] Additionally, two Iraqi men who had been detained have filed lawsuits on January 28 against both Trump and the United States government over the issue.[40][a]

President Donald Trump was quoted as saying that his executive order's ban is "working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over."[48] Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said President Trump had come to him for guidance over the ruling, which Giuliani described as a "Muslim ban".[49]

Many other celebrities reacted to the travel ban on social media including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bette Midler, Stephen Colbert, Morgan Freeman, and Mia Farrow.[133] In June 2018 Donald Trump posted a tweet saying "Supreme Court upholds Trump travel ban. WOW!". Many celebrities responded to this including Morgan Freeman who said "Making America White Again! Huge step back towards much darker days."[133] American artist Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted, "Shameful day for the Supreme Court". The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also posted a tweet saying, "This is not the first time the court has been wrong, or has allowed official racism and xenophobia to continue rather than standing up to it."[133][134]

Along with the protests all around the country and the world, reactions on social media have become a major contributor to the protests as celebrities and social media users continued to contribute to the hashtags related to the protests. The celebrities mentioned above all have officially approved Twitter accounts with millions of followers which shows that their tweets and activities become available to an audience and allows the hashtags and topic on the travel ban to appear on the trending section of Twitter and other social media platforms.[135]

Social media reactions edit

The protests against Executive Order 13769 also spread on social media and the internet. On January 25, 2017, protesters gathered in New York and chanted "No ban no wall".[136] The chant became a symbol of the protests all around the country including protests in Seattle[137] and Washington, D.C.[136] These chants were soon used on Twitter as #nobannowall to protest president Trump's border wall and travel ban policies also known as Executive Orders 13769 and 13767. The hashtag #nobannowwall soon became popular on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr. On Facebook, users created pages to coordinate protests such as "No Ban No Wall SF".[138] The "No Ban No Wall SF" page was used to create a protest event where 22,000 people expressed interest and 10,000 were expected to attend to the event.[138]

Twitter was actively used by Donald Trump as he posted tweets regarding the travel ban. Even before the protests, on March 25, 2016, President Trump tweeted "It is amazing how often I am right, only to be criticized by the media. Illegal immigration, take the oil, build the wall, Muslims, Nato!"[139] In another Tweet on September 15, 2017, Trump said "The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific - but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!"[140]

Tweets related to the order came not only from Donald Trump; many social media users and some celebrities posted tweets in response to his policy. Mia Farrow tweeted, "Travel ban is born of this president's xenophobia" and said "it also makes clear that we need laws to govern a tyrannical president."[141]

Related hashtags edit

 
Protests at Portland, Oregon. The banner shows some of the related hashtags on social media used to protest Executive Order 13769. These chants were used on social media as #nobannowall and #noTrump.

The hashtag #nobanowall soon became related to others:

  • #noTrump: This hashtag also became very popular on social media platforms and was used by protesters who criticized Trump's policies.
  • #GrandparentsNotTerrorists: President Trump's travel ban was planned to suspend the issuance of visas to refugees and citizens of North Korea, Venezuela, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.[9] However, it was stated that refugees or citizens of these countries who have a "bona fide relationship" with a person in the US would be exempt from this ban.[142] This meant that grandparents, grandchildren, aunts and uncles were not exempt of the travel ban. The National Iranian American Council[143] started this protest on Twitter and other social media platforms using the hashtag #grandparentsnotterrorist. Social media users used this hashtag to highlight the fact that the order was barring entry to grandparents and others who wished to see their family.
  • #MuslimBan: This hashtag was used by people who wanted to add to the discussion of Executive Order 13769. In posts related to this hashtag, there are posts from supporters as well as those who oppose President Trump's policy.[144]

Other responses edit

 
Protest in Tehran, Iran, February 10, 2017

In opposition to the executive order, over 350,000 people donated to the ACLU.[145] The organization collected more money over the weekend of January 28 than it did during all of 2016.[145] Lyft was one of the companies that donated, giving $1 million (~$1.24 million in 2023) to the ACLU.[45] Because Uber was seen as acting as strike-breakers during the New York taxi strike and also because Uber's CEO, Travis Kalanick, had agreed to serve on an economic advisory panel for Trump, many protesters are boycotting Uber and using Lyft or traditional taxi service instead.[146]

Starbucks pledged to hire 10,000 refugees worldwide over the next five years as a response to the executive order.[147]

On January 28, writer Eoin Higgins called for using the momentum of the JFK protests as a prelude to a general strike.[148]
