Roughly a thousand protestors rallied at Denver International Airport to demonstrate against President Donald Trump's ban on refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim nations. Parts of that ban have been blocked by a federal judge. Despite the Denver Police Department threatening to arrest protestors multiple times, the demonstration ended without incident.
