Many of the protesters' slogans referred to the entry ban recently introduced by the US administration, which blocks refugees from coming in the United States for 120 days; indefinitely suspends the entry of Syrian refugees; and restricts immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.
