Donald Trump, in a major revolution, banned the immigration from predominantly Muslim countries for an indefinite time and also cancelled out the US refugee program for four months. This biased decision from Donald Trump was strongly opposed by all the major companies and celebrities alike.
A major part of America was not ready to accept Trump’s verdict and openly voiced their opinions against it. This major part included Mark Zuckerberg, Miley Cyrus, Tim Cook and a host of other celebrities.
Mark Zuckerberg, in a long Facebook post, criticised the immigration ban and termed it as a policy that should be scrapped off at the earliest. The post has so far received over 682k likes and has been shared over 89k times. Zuckerberg reminded Trump of America’s history of being hostile for refugees and also appreciated Trump for being willing to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This is the complete post from Mark Zuckerberg that clearly shows his protest against the ban.
A step ahead of Mark was Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc. In a letter addressed to his employees, he stated that ‘It is not a policy we support’ and thus asked them to stay dissentive towards the ban. In the letter he assured his employees that the company will remain in contact with the ones affected and also stated that they’ve contacted The White House to protest against the ban. Tim Cook, who is also a part of President Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum, assured that his employees won’t be affected and the biased decision will be protested effectively. Just like Apple, Uber too pledged to keep their employees safe irrespective of the restrictions imposed on them.
If that wasn’t enough, a herd of celebrities came up on twitter to show their protest against president’s immigration ban. Here is the full collection of tweets from celebs including the likes of Miley Cyrus.

If the unacceptable decision of America’s president shows his nature, the unity America is displaying against him shows what makes them the world’s most powerful nation. The words at the base of America’s Statue Of Liberty reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” We just hope America follows the same path as it has been following since ages and the world remains to a peaceful entity for every human soul. Do let us know your views on this ban and the unity displayed by the Americans against It.
