Immigration: Boston Leads Way In Protests

President Trump's executive order on immigration is leading to protests in Boston and across the country. 

 Thousands of people flooded to Copley Square in Boston yesterday to demonstrate against the order. 

 Another large protest took place at Logan International Airport.  The president's order was halted by two federal judges in Boston Saturday, a day after it had been issued.

Meantime,  Senator Elizabeth Warren is pledging to fight President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration.  Warren says the president's order will be fought until it is tossed in the dust bin of history where it belongs.  

She says children and elderly grandparents fleeing from murderers are not a threat to the country.  

The also pledges to stop Trump from chipping away at the very heart of democracy. 

And, Harvard University President Drew Faust is urging the Trump administration to reconsider the immigration executive order.  

Faust says federal officials need to consider the impact the ban will have on colleges and universities.  

There are around a million international students in the U.S., including 17 thousand from the banned countries named in the executive order.  

They are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
