Canadian lawyers are mobilizing at airports across the country to assist people affected by U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban on all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations. They are volunteering their time to help anyone who gets turned away at American security checkpoints. "I've never been more proud to be a lawyer," said Janet Thompson-Price, an immigration lawyer in Saint John who is helping to co-ordinate the effort in response to a request from her U.S. counterparts.
