Protests erupted at airports around the country following President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning refugees from entering the country and restricting travel from seven Islamic countries.
In Virginia on Sunday, four Washington D.C.-area Democratic congressmen — Reps. Don Beyer Jr. and Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia and John Delaney and Jamie Raskin of Maryland — visited the protest at Washington Dulles International Airport.
