A counter demonstration of 300 set up inside the international terminal keeping the pro-Trumpers out and on the other side of the street. LAX Airport police kept the two demonstrations apart from each other.

Senator Barack Obama
One of the first times I photographed then Senator Barack Obama.
He was visiting Los Angeles during a tour for his newest book "The Audacity of Hope:Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." It was just as amazing to hear him speak then, as it is this evening at his farewell address.

Sanders Election Day Rally
An election day rally for Bernie Sanders who lost the California Primary to Hillary Clinton, was held at the Barker Hanger inside the Santa Monic Airport.
He defiantly vowed to continue his campaign all the way the next month's convention.
Sanders gave a shorter than normal speech and was visibly sad and tired from the election.
