Hillary Clinton chimed in Saturday evening on the ongoing debate over President Trump's executive order that temporarily suspends immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and bars refugees from entering the U.S.

"I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight defending our values & our Constitution," tweeted the former Democratic presidential candidate. "This is not who we are."

All day Saturday Trump faced criticism and challenges to his executive order from politicians, rights groups and others on social media, calling it a discriminatory "Muslim ban" — a label Trump has pushed back against.

"It's not a Muslim ban, but we were totally prepared. It's working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over," Trump told reporters Saturday while signing executive orders in the White House.

Protests erupted at airports nationwide after it was reported that refugees were being detained upon landing in the U.S.

A judge granted a temporary stay on the ban Saturday evening.
