People across California deluged airports on Sunday to protest Trump's new immigration policies that ban refugees temporarily (and those from Syria, indefinitely) and freeze immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Others held peaceful marches and rallies in support of their Muslim neighbors. Here's a snapshot of the day's events in photos.
