Demonstrators against the immigration rules implemented by President Donald Trump's administration, rally at Los Angeles international airport in Los Angeles, California on February 4, 2017.
While President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration makes its way through the courts, it's currently on hold, allowing family members stranded by the ban to reunite and refugees to enter the US after fleeing their countries.
