As thousand of people across the country turn out at local airports to protest President Donald Trump's ban on immigration by citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, people in Cleveland organized their own rally.

A Facebook event called Emergency Cleveland Rally for Immigrants, Muslims, & Sanct Cities, was created Saturday evening.

Dozens of people attended the event, holding signs showing their support for immigrants and refugees. 

One read: "I am a refugee, I make America great."

Protests against the order began Saturday and continued Sunday at several airports across the country like New York, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and outside Washington, D.C.

Crowds also gathered Sunday afternoon outside of the White House.
