Hundreds of protesters gathered Sunday afternoon at Kansas City International Airport to decry President Donald Trumps executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim nations from entering the United States.

The protest began at about 2 p.m. and was expected to last until at least 5:30 p.m. at Terminal C. Organizers said they were looking to protest the blatantly unconstitutional (and horrifically unethical) executive order by President Trump.

The crowd was growing quickly by midafternoon as protesters chanted: Trump, you clown! You build the wall, well tear it down! They cheered as passing drivers honked their horns in a show of support.

The protest was peaceful and was not disrupting airport operations, a spokesman said. The size of the crowd was estimated to be 400 to 500 at about 3:30, an airport official said.
