Protests at major US airports that welcome international passengers, also hit Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) this weekend. On the heels of Friday’s executive order from the White House against citizens from seven primarily Muslim nations, protesters gathered to show their support. And volunteer attorneys came forward to assist travelers, many of whom are permanent residents of the US (with green cards) who were being denied release from Customs and Border Protection officers. Additional protests took place downtown near sites preparing for Super Bowl festivities this week.
