The partial travel ban, revised to allow only travelers from six Muslim-majority countries with close family or institutional ties to the United States to enter the country, goes into effect at Sea-Tac at 5 p.m. But unlike what happened during the implementation of travel ban 1.0, the Port of Seattle doesn't expect heavy protesting this time.

Instead, immigration lawyers have set up shop between baggage claim terminals seven and eight. The port also has put up signage for travelers who have questions about their rights once inside the country.

According to port spokesperson Perry Cooper, the port doesn't anticipate immigration authorities will detain travelers this time around, given the fact that visas would be required to board planes in the first place. The White House maintains that passengers with visas and travel plans through July 6 shouldn't have problems.

That said, the Port Commission has released a statement condemning the travel ban.

It reads:

While we are relieved that many travelers coming to the United States will not be impacted by the newly implemented travel ban, the Trump Administration's efforts on this topic continue to run counter to our values as a welcoming community. As the operators of Sea-Tac Airport on behalf of the people of King County, we will continue our efforts to ensure that all travelers and their families are treated fairly and with dignity.

When reached by e-mail, Port Commissioner Stephanie Bowman (who is also running for reelection) added that she was opposed to the ban, whether in whole or scaled back, calling it "discriminatory, hostile, Un-American and idiotic."
