Photos of the week: 1/27 - 2/3

The past week in news has certainly been historic.

Several rallies and protests, from the annual March for Life to impromptu crowds at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, took place. The latter group of people were objecting President Trump's immigration ban, which caused several people to be detained at airports across the country.

Celebrities also took to protesting the travel ban at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.

Elsewhere around the world, the Chinese Lunar New Year was commemorated and Kite Day, an annual event, brought out enthusiasts in New Zealand. The holiday of Groundhog Day in the United States also occurred, with Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog predicting six more weeks of winter.

Take a look at the slideshow above to see photos from all of these stories and more, and be sure to check back next week for our selection of the best photography from the coming days.
