Immigration Order: Protesters Flood Logan Terminal As Several Passengers Reportedly Detained [VIDEO]

BOSTON, MA — Protesters descended on Logan International Airport Saturday night in Boston, protesting President Donald Trump's order that bans immigrants and non-immigrants from certain predominately Muslim countries from entering to the United Sates.

Several people were reportedly detained getting off of planes Saturday in Boston, including one Boston-area family traveling home from Iran. Harvard and MIT have reported individuals affiliated with both universities have been detained.

It is one of several protests around the country, include a mass gathering at JFK airport, against Trump's executive order, signed Friday. A federal judge issued an injunction that temporarily delays the ban for those detained at airports in New York, with a similar decision out of Boston early Sunday morning.

A crowd that started in the dozens reportedly grew into the hundreds Saturday night at Logan airport. Standing outside the International Arrivals terminal, dozens of sign-carrying protesters chanted, "Let them in! Let them in!"

Trump's executive order signed Friday bans the entry of individuals from certain countries as immigrants and non-immigrants for 90 days. The countries are not named in the order but several news outlets reported that those countries include Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Iran, Yemen and Sudan. The order also bans the resettlement of refugees for four months and indefinitely suspends the entry of Syrian refugees. Once refugees are permitted to enter the country again, claims will be prioritized on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in his or her respective country.

When signing the order, Trump said it was aimed at keeping out "radical Islamic terrorists."

A larger protest of the immigration ban is planned Sunday in Boston, with more than 9,000 saying they plan to attend.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was among those who joined the protest at Logan, criticizing the ban as unconstitutional and antithetical to our country's values:

State Attorney General Maura Healey was also in attendance, as was mayoral candidate Tito Jackson, who has been sharing a live video feed from the event.

Meanwhile, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh issued a statement blasting Trump's executive orders on immigration. He subsequently tweeted that he was en route to Logan to join the protest.

"Preventing people from entering this country based solely on faith runs counter to everything we stand for as Americans. Let's be clear: this is not an effective way to combat terrorism and increase homeland security. It is a reckless policy that is rooted in fear, not substance, and further divides us as a nation and a world. It is simply morally wrong. As Americans, we must move forward together as a country proud of our diverse heritage, and find real solutions to the challenges we face."

The event at Logan was hosted by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which is offering assistance to anyone detained under the ban. The ACLU has lawyers stationed at airports across the country.

Lawyers consulted by ProPublica said the ban could apply to hundreds of thousands of people from these countries who already live in the U.S. under green cards or on temporary student or employee visas. Reuters reported that green card holders from the seven countries will have to be cleared on a case-by-case basis. A State Department statement still to be released but reviewed by the Wall Street Journal says the ban would also apply to citizens of those seven countries who hold dual nationality. A federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press that those already in the U.S. with a visa or a green card would be allowed to stay.
