New York City cab drivers turned mounting chaos at John F. Kennedy International Airport into even more of a snarl with a strike to protest President Donald Trump’s crackdown on refugees and support travelers trapped by his executive order. “We cannot be silent,” the New York Taxi Workers Alliance tweeted. We will not be divided.”The action was launched after about a dozen travelers were detained at the airport under Trump’s executive order blocking arrivals from seven predominantly Muslim nations. Demonstrators gathered throughout the day to protest the crackdown. The NYTWA called on all cabbies, including Uber drivers, to join them.
