NEWARK -- The backlash against President Trump's executive orders on immigration continued Wednesday as hundreds of students from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers-Newark protested film izle outside Dana Library, expressing solidarity with refugees and Muslims. 

Students cheered and held signs that read: "Get your tiny hands off my Halal Guys," and "We stand with our Muslim sisters." 

Others chanted "No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here." 

The protest came a day after students at Rutgers University staged another demonstration at the New Brunswick campus. Students and community activists have been protesting Trump's executive order that temporarily bans refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries. Syrian refugees are banned indefinitely.

"Being safe involves a constant act of bravery -- risking to trust a neighbor, not because they look or speak or pray the same way you do, but precisely because they don't -- and because you recognize how much better you are because you can hold hands across the divides, the lands, the borders -- rising together, not splintering apart," Rutgers-Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor said. "Let's stand together; stand firm; stand resolute in our variety, in our different journeys, and in our shared dreams."

Trump has defended his executive orders and said the order was about safety. "This is not about religion -- this is about terror and keeping our country safe," Trump said in an earlier statement.
