Trump Muslim Ban: Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Other Celebrities React To Executive Order On Immigration
After President Donald Trump signed an executive order Jan. 27, banning travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, many people including popular celebrities took to social media to voice their collective outrage. Some people used Twitter to share their own immigration stories, while others reminded their followers of Jewish refugees that were turned away during the Holocaust.
A Twitter page, called St. Louis Manifest, shared names and photos of Jewish refugees who were killed or turned away from U.S. borders.
