Judge Says DIA Must Allow Spur-Of-The-Moment Protests
DENVER (AP/CBS4) - A federal judge says Denver International Airport needs to accommodate protests like the one last month over President Donald Trump's travel ban.
U.S. District Judge William Martinez ruled Wednesday in a lawsuit brought by two people two people who participated in the travel ban protest on Jan. 28, the day after the president issued his executive order regarding travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.

The airport has required protesters to request permits seven days in advance but Martinez ordered the airport and city to issue them to people "communicating topical ideas" relevant to the airport if they give 24 hours' notice. He said the airport should try to allow people to protest where they want as long as it's a place where anyone without a ticket is permitted, including the airport's terminal.
