In contrast, North Texas Democratic Reps. Marc Veasey and Eddie Bernice Johnson oppose Trump's order. Veasey traveled to the Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Saturday night to join the protests.

"President Trump's latest executive action is already causing mass confusion for international airports nationwide," Veasey said in a statement on Saturday evening. "I have been in contact with all relevant agencies and I will continue to monitor the situation closely.

The Trump Administration's refugee ban and their instruction to suspend entry from Muslim-majority countries is wholly un-American and challenges our country's humanitarian leadership."

Johnson echoed Veasey's opposition in a statement released Sunday afternoon.
