Sunda Pichai, Google CEO, has asked all travelling staff outside of the USA to reach out to google's security, travel and immigration teams for assistance and return to the US. Sunda sent the email to google staff on friday evening following the executive order signed by Trump banning temporarily all muslims and refugees from entering the states.
The email stated that more than 100 google employees are affected by the ban.
“It’s painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues,” he said. “We’ve always made our view on immigration issues known publicly and will continue to do so.”
Google also expressed long term concerns about the order and any other measures that may restrict international talent from entering the country.
“We’re concerned about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that create barriers to bringing great talent to the U.S.,” a Google spokeswoman said. “We’ll continue to make our views on these issues known to leaders in Washington and elsewhere.”
