A group of demonstrators gathered Tuesday morning near the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo to protest President Donald Trump's executive order suspending the entry of refugees and restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Roughly 50 people, mainly Americans living in Japan, gathered near the embassy in Minato Ward at around 8 a.m. They held signs with slogans like "Build bridges, not walls," "No Muslim ban" and "Immigrants make America great."
"We will protest in solidarity with these individuals, including refugees from war-torn nations, as we stand against this unlawful, immoral and unjust action," the organizers said in a Monday news release.
