Travel ban: Immigrants' rights attorneys prepare to show up at LAX

The fallout from Monday's Supreme Court travel ban ruling is being felt in Southern California.

Starting Thursday, travelers from six mostly-Muslim countries will need an official reason to get into the US. As the court put it, they will need a "bonafide relationship with any person or entity in the United States."

But what does that mean? And how will it work?

The lack of specifics about how the ban will be implemented has immigrants rights attorneys worried, which is why volunteers will be at LAX starting Thursday morning. 

Caitlin Bellis is slated to be there Friday. She joined KPCC's Take Two to talk about what she plans to do.
