america. closer to our area, a similar scene at dulles international airport, which has been packed with demonstrators for hours. vi mcauliffe announced at least one family, including two children, are being held at dulles tonight. >> reporter: a tough time hearing you. bear with me. i am here at dulles airport in the international arrivals area. as you can see behind me there are hundreds of protesters. they have been calling for the end of trump's executive order banning refugees from seven predominantly muslim countries. also being in the international arrivals section, they are welcoming foreigners how they see fit into our country. i will let you take a look. you see different signs. some read no fear, no hate, refugees are welcome here. others read no ban, no rentalstery, love trumps hate. they have been here since about 4:30. that is when virginia governor terry mcauliffe arrived and had a message. you will hear from the governor in a moment. before we get there i want to to see his family. they have been held here at the airport for hours. he is an iranian doctor. step up here, sir. >> i am a doctor from iran. i am also a researcher at columbia university. >> reporter: doctor, your family has been held here. what has it been like? how are you feeling? >> we cannot believe it. but you feel very desperate because you don't know what's going to happen. two of my cousins were held there for hours. we know from before, one of them is actually a green card holder and the other is citizen. five-year citizen of united states of america. he was held there for, i don't know, five, six hours. and the whole family was desperate because we thought they might send them back. we didn't know what's going to happen. his mother is here. she didn't know if he is going to see his child any more. >> reporter: you have been able to see >> reporter: how are they? >> when i saw my cousin, the 25- year-old lady, who is a student here, who she is a green card holder, she was all in tears because she told me that all the way in the trip she was crying. when she arrived here, she was all in tears. it was a very bad feeling. >> reporter: where are they now? >> they just left. they were very tired. the family took them. they just came out of the airport. >> reporter: now, you're a doctor. you work and focus on research and the treatment of diabetes. you contribute to america. how do you feel about this country this evening? >> look, first of all, i am from iran. i feel bad about this rule because, first of all, there is no everything of one activity by an iranian. there is no evidence. can you believe it? iranians are banned from coming to the united states where a literate people, it's like people in the united states and they are contributing to this country. i work 16 hours a day in the laboratory to find treatments for inducing intolerance for transplantation for diseases. we love people. i mean, we should love each other. this kind of rules are not constructive. they are destructive. i don't believe that it can help increase the security of the united states of america because hatred generates hatred and love generates love. this is a ruse. whenever you go against this rule, you are doing a big mistake. >> reporter: doctor, thank you for your time. i am going to take our viewers now, just have a walk and pan over to the back wall. you see a number of people standing. there are countless volunteer attorneys that are here demanding to see those might still be held. they want to know why they're being held. right now i'm joined by an attorney who has been here most of the evening. she is going to explain exactly how this executive order -- excuse me, the state that has come out of the eastern district of virginia, what it means, how it might help these people. please explain to the audience. >> well, the order that came out of the eastern district of virginia says that they have to allow access to the landfall permanent residents who are being detained at the airport. it also says that these same landfall permanent residents cannot be removed for seven days. >> reporter: these are green card holders? >> yes, they are being held there at secondary inspection. >> reporter: have you been able to see anyone back there up to this point? >> we have not had any access at all. all of our access has been texts and telephone. >> reporter: what are you hearing? >> i am hearing that some people have been there since 2:00 this afternoon. i understand that there is a couple of kids who came in early this morning. we t been through, if they have been passed on. we have been hearing they have been questioned, that their passports have been taken and their green cards. as you may have seen, there have been some people, some lawful permanent residents who were admitted. >> reporter: who or what is stopping you from seeing these people? >> dhs. customs border and patrol. we have a court order that says we are to have access. they said they are not gonna allow that. >> reporter: thank you for your time. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: as you heard, the department, dhs's department of homeland security. this is where governor mcauliffe steps in. he came to the airport around 4:30 surrounded by activists and demanded dhs tell him why and who are being held here. at last check he has not had any answers. before i sign off i am going to let you get a last look at the protesters here, the secure here. there is obviously no signs of this ending. you will get the governor's thoughts coming up moment. live at dulles airport, i am matt yurus for wusa9. >> thank you so much, matt. virginia governor terry mcauliffe is asking the state attorney general to review president trump's immigration order. he says the president's decision to restrict immigration from seven muslim countries is a bad decision and will have a severe impact on u.s. foreign relations. >> this is bad for the united states of america, number one. it's bad for the economy. i think what immigrants have done to help build this country. i am also very concerned about the national security implications of what this message has sent to members of the muslim faith and all faiths that we are no longer open and welcoming. i do believe this sends a message to the globe of how americans will be treated in countries all over the globe. we cannot tolerate this ty activity. so we are very concerned. discriminatory tactics breed hatred, and it will breed hatred towards our nation and breed hatred towards americans around the globe. this is not the nation that we know. this is not the nation that we love. i have instructed my attorney general to look at all avenues that we have here in virginia, all legal remedies that we have to help these individuals who are stuck at our airport here in virginia. you board a plane to come to america. you have the right to come to this country. yet, when you land, you are detained. we believe in vetting and we believe in strong vetting. nobody should be allowed in this country who would do any harm to any american or our country. you have taken vet to go a new extreme. we don't know extreme vetting, we don't know what that means. >> he says the commonwealth of virginia will remain, quote, open and welcoming to evyo reporters in the oval office said this. >> it's not a muslim ban. we are prepared to work it out very nicely. >> as part of our city, your voice, our conversation about the first 100 days of the trump administration, we are listening to you on all of our platforms. sean says we are a nation of immigrants. heather says i am glad our president donald trump is stopping it. let's make america great again. alisa says, thank you to our leaders in virginia. they will not
