Ride-hailing company Lyft sent an email to customers on Sunday emphasizing its opposition to President Trump's "extreme vetting" executive order that puts in place restrictions for immigrants and refugees from certain Middle Eastern countries.

"This weekend, Trump closed the country's borders to refugees, immigrants, and even documented residents from around the world based on their country of origin," the statement attributed to Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green said. "Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values. We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community."

The company, which is the second-biggest company of its kind in the country behind Uber, said it will donate money to the American Civil Liberties Union.

"We know this directly impacts many of our community members, their families, and friends," Lyft said. "We stand with you, and are donating $1,000,000 over the next four years to the ACLU to defend our Constitution. We ask that you continue to be there for each other — and together, continue proving the power of community."

To follow through on "extreme vetting" campaign promise to prevent terrorists to enter the country, Trump on Friday announced an executive order that temporarily restricts immigration from "countries of particular concern," including Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days. The order also suspended the flow of Syrian refugees into the country.
