Houston Attorneys vow to stay as long as it takes to free Muslims held at airport

Houston had a massive protest at its principal airport, the Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) over Trump's 'Muslim Ban.' I spoke to four attorneys present who were helping the detainees and their families. They had quite a bit to say.

The protest at the IAH was very peaceful. A few Trump supporters infiltrated several areas but were shouted down and edged out for attempting to instigate violence. I did a rough count inside and came up with over one thousand protesters in the building. As the evening progressed, more and more protesters kept coming. Eventually, the Houston Police officers, who were very pleasant and helpful, stopped entry into International Terminal E. There were several hundred protesters outside as well.

I spoke to four attorneys, Salvador Colon, Anne Chandler, Elizabeth Mendoza, and Rosemary Vega, that were there to provide legal immigration assistance to the detained and their families.
