Stocks suffered their worst losses of the year as chaos surrounding President Donald Trump's immigration ban kept investors playing defense.

Defensive stocks in the telecom, utilities and consumer staples sectors were among those with the smallest losses. Airlines and other travel stocks moved lower on the immigration ban. Among them, JetBlue (JBLU) , Southwest (LUV) , American Airlines (AAL) , Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Spirit Airlines  (SAVE) each logged daily losses.

GoPro (GPRO) rose after BlackRock upped its stake in the company. The firm now holds 6%, or roughly 6.2 million shares, in the action camera marker. That stake is one million shares more than its previous holding.

Tempur Sealy (TPX) plummeted after terminating its contracts with Mattress Firm. Tempur said the two companies had been unable to agree on a number of changes to existing agreements.
