Some Idaho businesses reacted to President Donald Trump’s order that temporarily blocked refugees from coming to the U.S. and blocked immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations.

The Idaho Statesman reports one of the strongest statements came from Chobani Founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, in a letter to employees, including 300 refugees at the company’s Twin Falls yogurt plant.

Ulukaya, a Turkish immigrant, said his company will support its employees, including refugees and immigrants from 19 countries.

Ulukaya said he directed the company’s legal and human resources teams to explore whether any employees or their family members would be affected by the order and to provide “whatever assistance they need.”
