Two members of the U.S. Congress joined refugee advocates and lawyers at New York's JFK airport Saturday to plead for the release of two Iraqis detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. The detention follows an executive order signed by President Donald Trump barring travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven Middle Eastern and African nations.
