It's supposed to start on Monday (the 9th), so I guess people who were self-confident enough to come to DC for World Pride are already here. Also baseball players, more than a few come from Venezuela. Lots of baseball players come from the Dominican Republic, but that side of the island isn't banned - just Haiti!
The excuse was the anti-Semitic fire bomber in Colorado, but he is from Egypt, which is not on the list.
Someone on twitter was grumpy that people haven't flocked to airports to protest or help, but the difference between this and the first Trump ban is that there wasn't a four-day buffer last time - it happened while people were already on the way. I'm halfway to the airport on Mondays, so maybe I could go if there would be any point in doing so.
