A GoFundMe page to fund a "war room" for Dallas-area lawyers who are helping travelers affected by President Donald Trump's immigration executive order has raised more than $10,000 in less than a day.

The pro bono attorneys, who are calling themselves DFW Detained, have been working since Saturday night to free detainees from seven Muslim-majority countries barred under the executive order and ensure that future travelers are given access to counsel.

More than 100 lawyers worked behind the scenes over the weekend, assembling a legal "war room" in an airport hotel conference room.

Their efforts put some people in the odd position of rooting for lawyers in spite of themselves, even granting hero status to the oft-maligned profession.

"Flights are arriving hourly, and we need your help to [ensure] that those aboard are not unlawfully detained," the GoFundMe page says. "We need your help to make our government accountable."

The money will be used to pay for the hotel "war room" and supplies. None will go to the attorneys, who are volunteering their time. Any leftover funds will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union, a nonprofit that defends liberties guaranteed in the Constitution, according to the GoFundMe page.

Donations can be made at gofundme.com/dfw-detained.

"Please help us fight this assault on our American values," the page says. "This is what democracy looks like!"
