A group of D.C. activists held a march in front of the Supreme Court to protest this morning’s 5-4 approval of Trump’s travel ban. The rally started at 11:45 a.m. in front of the Supreme Court steps, and went until about 1 p.m. The crowd peaked at about 100 people.

The event was organized by Muslim Advocates, a national organization, with support from nearly two dozen other organizations, including the Justice for Muslims Collective, which their website says is dedicated to fighting Islamophobia in the D.C. metro area.

Protesters outside held a variety of signs condemning the Court and the Trump administration policy. One protester, Lilah Rosenblum, held a “No Muslim Ban Ever” sign and spoke to DCist about why she chose to attend the demonstration. “I think [the travel ban] is an abomination to our democracy. The most important principles of our democracy have been violated and it’s a failure of the judiciary branch to protect the most important values to our country,” she said.

Today’s Supreme Court decision upheld the Trump administration’s travel ban, which barred travelers from five mainly Muslim countries as well as travelers from North Korea and government officials from Venezuela. It is the administration’s third version of the travel ban.
