-- Protesters gathered Saturday at Newark Liberty International Airport against President Donald
, which barred entry to the United States from seven largely Muslim countries, halted the nation's refugee program and reportedly left people detained at airports.
Make the Road New Jersey, a group that says it works to bring to justice to immigrants in the state, posted on Twitter that demonstrators were gathered at Newark airport's international arrivals area.
Photos on social media showed people holding signs that read "No to a Muslim ban," and "Immigrants make America great."
Protests were also reported at airports across the country, including at John F. Kennedy International Airport where an Iraqi who worked for the U.S. military was initially detained by immigration officials.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ) said he and his staff were addressing immigration cases Saturday.
"Everyone we had been concerned about was eventually processed and permitted to continue on their journey. While the Chief of Operations for CBP at Newark Liberty Airport told me no one being detained at that airport as of 11 p.m. tonight, I have received reports that residents from New Jersey remain detained at JFK Airport," Pascrell said in a statement.
Also on Saturday, a federal judge in Brooklyn temporarily blocked officials from deporting people from the countries in Trump's order.
"I am grateful that a federal court has issued a limited stay of this immoral order. But this bigoted and discriminatory policy remains in place and I am not going to ease my efforts for even one minute. Standing up for what is fair and right is going to take every inch of our democratic system - courts, legislators, and especially the people of this nation," he added.
Trump's executive order put in place a 90-day travel ban for citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The order also halted the U.S. refugee program for 120-days. Trump has said the ban was needed to safeguard America from "radical Islamic terrorists."
