From the ACLU regarding Trump's executive order on immigration:

The ACLU of Washington is asking that people who have been expecting visitors to arrive at SeaTac from one of the seven countries in yesterday’s executive order – Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen – and have not heard from their visitors or have heard that their visitors have arrived and been detained or denied entry to please contact us at travel@aclu-wa.org.

We will be checking this mailbox regularly throughout the weekend. Please send a message with your contact information as well as the following information about the visitors if possible: name, date of birth, country of citizenship, form of visa or entry authorization, date and time of arrival, flight number and airline. In addition, it would be helpful to share information about how being denied entry to the United States causes the person a hardship whether because of persecution, illness, family ties, etc. We stand ready to challenge detentions and denials of entry where possible to do so.
