Luminaries of the tech industry have voiced concern, sharp criticism, and calls for unity in the wake of President Trump's unprecedented executive order barring refugees entering the US.
Over the weekend, CEOs of companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Airbnb shared their near-unanimous opposition to Trump's executive order, which bars people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US for 90 days.
Some companies, such as ride-hailing app Lyft, pledged large donations to the The American Civil Liberties Union for its legal work in challenging Trump's order. Many said they would offer free legal assistance to employees affected by the ban.
