New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a state hotline where New Yorkers can report missing people who may have be detained as a result of President Trump’s executive order on immigration, visas and refugees.

Cuomo announced the creation of the hotline on Sunday, CBS New York reported.

“As New Yorkers who live in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, we welcome new immigrants as a source of energy and celebrate them as a source of revitalization of our state,” Cuomo said in a statement. “We will ensure New York remains a beacon of hope and opportunity and will protect the rights of those seeking refuge in our state.”

The confidential, toll-free hotline can be reached at 1-888-769-7243.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was one of 15 attorneys general who vowed to fight against Trump’s immigration ban in a statement released Sunday.

On Saturday evening, Cuomo sent state officials to the state’s John F. Kennedy airport to protect a large group of protesters. Several people were detained at the airport Saturday as an immediate result of Trump’s executive order.

"I never thought I'd see the day when refugees, who have fled war-torn countries in search of a better life, would be turned away at our doorstep," Cuomo said in a statement.

About 10 people are still detained at JFK as of Sunday afternoon, according to a report from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y) to local news.

Trump signed an executive order Friday that prohibits people from several Muslim-majority countries to travel the U.S. The order also halts refugees from warn-torn Syria from entering the U.S.

A federal judged issued an emergency stay on the executive order Saturday evening.

Trump has faced bipartisan criticism for the order over the weekend. He defended the executive order in a statement Sunday, saying it “is not a Muslim ban.”
