Tens of thousands of Americans spent parts of their weekends protesting President Donald Trump's executive order to restrict people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
Most of the media's attention was focused on protests in America's largest cities, including New York City, Boston, San Francisco, and Washington, DC — all of which are liberal hubs.
But at the same time, protests were sprouting up in smaller cities, including several in states and counties that swung Republican in the 2016 election.
