Scores of irate liberals organized in part by CAIR (considered a terrorist organization in the UAE),
descended upon airports around the country on Saturday to
protest Donald Trump's 120 day ban on refugees from 6 "nations of
concern" and a permanent ban on Syrians until further notice. Of note,
the countries on the list were originally identified under Obama by the
Department of Homeland Security in the "Terrorist Travel Prevention Act
of 2015."
As a result of the Executive Order, several travelers from the newly restricted nations found themselves in limbo at airports across the United States, as many were kept off flights or stranded. In response, Democrat congressional representatives Nydia Velazquez and Jerry Nadler showed up to JFK airport with the press to earn a few votes for the next election.
Unsurprisingly, ABC News cut that part out…

The Puerto Rican born Velazquez (who’s been in US Politics over 35 years and hasn’t bothered to master English), took to the cameras to decry the Executive Order for not offering guidelines. Oh, and it’s unjust.Standing at JFK to fight for the legal rights of refugees being detained under Trump's order & attack on American values.

One of the stranded travelers was Iraqi interpreter Hameed Khalid Darweesh, released from detention after 18 hours. Reps. Velazquez and Nadler were quick to cozy up to Darweesh, hoping to milk the “human element” of this tragic story of injustice.Rep. @NydiaVelazquez at JFK Airport: "Mr. President, look at us.

About an hour later, Darweesh was wheeled in front of network cameras where he was asked what he thought of Donald Trump:One of the refugees, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, has been released pic.twitter.com/U1XHr4DaTt— Rep. Nydia Velazquez (@NydiaVelazquez) January 28, 2017

Unfortunately for Rep. Velazquez, Hameed Khalid Darweesh didn't fit the bleeding heart narrative. Fortunately for the rest of the stranded travelers, and putting an end to this orchestrated CAIRport protest, a NY Federal judge granted a temporary repreive following an ACLU request for a temporary stay allowing detained travelers to stay in the United States.Hameed Darweesh speaks after being released from detention at JFK airport in wake of immigration order: "America is the land of freedom." pic.twitter.com/2NfkWSEhxN— ABC News (@ABC) January 28, 2017
