Tech fights back against Trump’s executive action

President Donald Trump’s executive order on Friday calling for a 90-day ban on nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries entering the United States spurred responses across the technology industry from major tech companies including Google, Apple and Uber.

“It’s painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a memo to his staff on Friday, according to Bloomberg.

“We’ve always made our view on immigration issues known publicly and will continue to do so,” he added.

“Our first order of business is to help Googlers who are affected,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “If you’re abroad and need help please reach out to our global security team.

A Google spokesperson echoed Pichai’s sentiment in statement emailed to The Hill.
