Airbnb co-founders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk have issued a joint statement this afternoon condemning President Donald Trump’s policy of separating immigrant parents from their children at the US-Mexico border. The statement, issued publicly on Twitter, is both a plain and harsh rebuke of the Trump administration’s policy, which has caused nationwide outcry as stories about and photos of distraught children and parents being forcibly taken away from one another have dominated the news.

“Ripping children from the arms of their parents is heartless, cruel, immoral and counter to American values of belonging,” the statement reads. “The US government needs to stop this injustice and reunite these families. We are a better country than this.” The words of Chesky and his co-founders is a stark contrast to the more careful wording of Microsoft, which has found itself in hot water over claiming earlier this year to be “proud” of its work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency responsible for deportation.
