WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of protesters rallied in front of the White House on Sunday while demonstrations continued across more than 30 American airports after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily barring all refugees and seven Mideast and North African countries' citizens from entry into the U.S..

Hundreds of protesters gathered Sunday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to demonstrate against the ban.

The protesters, hoisting signs like "Bridges, not wall" "Dump Trump," chanted loudly "No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here," and "Build a wall, we'll tear it down" in front of JFK's Terminal 4.

Steve Golden is one of a group of volunteer attorneys that are trying to help those held up by custom officials at JFK since Saturday. They did not sleep over the past 24 hours.

He escorted an unidentified lady who was just freed by the custom to her relatives' vehicle.

"Most of these people are green card holders, some are people with visas, lots of people have families, homes and pets here, they are simply being detained because of the new process. I believe the executive was unconstitutional." Golden told Xinhua.

Janie Lynch, a teacher from Flushing, Queens, said, "we are here because we are all brother and sisters, and the U.S. is supposed to be open to everybody, whether you are tired, are poor, are yearning for free." "I just cannot let this happen, injustice will end to be injustice to everybody, we simply cannot sit back, we cannot remain neutral on a moving train, it's happening."
