Celebrities including Rihanna, John Legend and Kim Kardashian have expressed their opinions on President Donald Trump's recent Muslim ban.
The ban was put in place to indefinitely bar Syrian refugees from entering the US, as well as to temporarily ban people from seven Muslim-majority countries - Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
BBC News report that some visa categories, such as diplomats and the UN, are not included in the recent suspension.
As protests are taking place in many US airports this week in an act of disagreement with the ban, many famous figures have shared their own views on the act.
Rihanna took to Twitter shortly after the news broke:
Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!
