Apple contemplates legal options against Trump immigration order
Tim Cook comments on Apple’s plans following U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order on immigration.
Tripp Mickle, writing for the Wall Street Journal:
“More than any country in the world, this country is strong because of our immigrant background and our capacity and ability as people to welcome people from all kinds of backgrounds. That’s what makes us special,” said Mr. Cook. “We ought to pause and really think deeply through that.”
