Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, has condemned U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent immigration action. Many organizations and groups have protested President Trump’s decision to sign the executive order on Friday, temporarily barring immigrants (from seven Muslim countries) and refugees from entering the country. President Trump said that this particular order was designed to prohibit radical terrorists from entering the United States. But the decision also consequently puts a temporary blanket ban for any refugee trying to enter the United States of America. The Netflix CEO called the decision “un-American”.

“Trump’s actions are hurting Netflix employees around the world, and are so un-American it pains us all.”

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings took to Facebook to express a strong disapproval of Trump’s action. Hastings wrote that Trump’s “un-American” decision was going to hurt Netflix employees around the world. He believes that Trump’s decision will not make America safe from Terrorists as he has repeatedly claimed, but will rather make it less safe “through hatred and loss of allies”.

The Netflix CEO further expressed his concern over the lives of over 600,000 “Dreamers”, immigrants who are a part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program under the DREAM Act, which he deemed to be under imminent threat.
