Google launches fund to aid immigration

Google has launched a fund designed to counter Donald Trump's immigration plans.

Google has created a crisis fund that could raise up to $4 million for four immigrant rights organisations.

Google confirmed a USA Today report that it is funding an initial $2 million for the fund that can be matched with up to $2 million in donations from employees.

The money will go toward the American Civil Liberties Union, the Immigrant Legal Resource Centre, the International Rescue Committee and the UN Refugee Agency.

Company executives are also donating separately to the effort.

Google says in a statement that it's concerned about the impact President Donald Trump's order to temporarily suspend immigration from seven Muslim majority nations will have on the company's employees and their families.
