For a second consecutive day, protesters rallied across the USA against its President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Throngs of people gathered Sunday afternoon outside the White House.

Crowds also formed in Boston’s Copley Square, at Battery Park in Manhattan and at airports in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington, and Dallas, reports CNN.

Crowds gathered outside airports across the country, cheering as detained travelers started to leave.

These follow demonstrations that erupted Saturday over Trump’s travel ban.

Issued Friday night, the Ban bars entry to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia.

Part of the ban, however, was halted by a judge in a federal court in New York on Saturday.

In New York, six more people were released late Sunday morning after being detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport the day before.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York, said seven to 10 people were still being held.

“(They) have lawful visas and they have the proper paperwork,” Jeffries said. “We hope they will be released later today.”
