FYI Cut and paste to share. If you decide to join an airport protest, please remember that Federal, Department of Homeland Security enforcement are in place at our airports. This means, if you are detained, you will likely be held without recourse to an attorney and can be transferred and held indefinitely. Please make sure your people know to look for you and do regular check ins with them. 
Immigration attorneys advise that only US Citizens can participate without grave risk. If you are a US citizen, this is one way for you to leverage your privilege to help those with less. From a lawyer: Do not go to the airport if you are not a US citizen, even if you have a green card or work visa.

All I will say to those who voted for Trump and expect me to suck it up is this......    I listened as you called my President a Muslim. I listened as you called him and his family a pack of monkeys. I listened as you said he wasn't born here. I watched as you blocked every single path to progress that you could. I saw the pictures you made of him as Hitler.
