President Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 27, 2017 "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States." Thousands around the US protested at airports following the executive order. Many have argued that the order was a Muslim ban. Others contended that it was for the safety and security of the United States.

The field recording was captured Jan. 29 during one of those protests in the International Arrivals section of Terminal E at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. 

Recorded by Walker Wooding.
