In the hours following the order made on January 27, several news sources reported that refugees were being detained at John F. Kennedy airport in New York City. Protestors flocked to JFK's Terminal 4 to express their outrage towards Trump's "Muslim ban" and stand in solidarity with the detained Muslim refugees. Other protests formed in airports across major U.S. cities including at Washington D.C. Dulles Airport, San Francisco's UN Plaza, and Philadelphia's PHL Airport.

On January 28, New York City Taxi Workers announced a strike between the hours of 6 and 7 p.m., refusing to service rides from John F. Kennedy airport in order to protest the "inhumane and unconstitutional #MuslimBam." However, Uber decided to benefit from the strike by turning off surge pricing and continuing to service rides to and from John F. Kennedy. Angered by Uber's exploitative actions, Twitter users began posting screenshots of them deleting the app with the hashtag #DeleteUber.

Portland rapper Aminé also spoke out about the ride sharing apps, urging his fans to support Lyft instead of Uber. "Uber's headass ceo supports the muslim ban," Aminé wrotes. "Everyone please use lyft." View below.
