US Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson had arrived at the Atlanta airport demanding to know more about the number of travelers detained there.

Lewis is renowned for leading famous sit-in protests during the civil rights era, as well as on the floor of the House of Representatives for gun control.

“As far as we can tell there are no written protocols that have been issued to the Customs and Border Protection officers,” Johnson said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “So they are kind of winging it, like we are winging it. And it puts them at a disadvantage because, of course, they have a job to do to keep up safe under normal conditions.”

“It is illegal, it is unconstitutional and it will be overturned,” Warren said in a video she posted to Twitter.
