Hollywood freaked out again after President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that would limit migration from six Muslim-majority countries.
Celebrities like Michael Moore, Rosie O’Donnell and many others reacted via Twitter to the president’s newly revised travel ban that would temporarily prevent citizens from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the United States. The first version included Iraq and allowed for no entry for Syrian refugees. (RELATED: Celebrities Freak Out Over Trump’s Immigration Restriction)

“Muslim ban remains intact. Bigotry against 6 countries is the same as bigotry against 7 countries, or 70 countries or 1 country. Fight this,” Michael Moore tweeted.

“the intent of the EO is for a ‘Muslim Ban.’ This violates the Establishment Clause of 1st Amendment There’s just no way around that #noBAN,” Rosie O’Donnell tweeted.

“Trump’s ‘new’ travel ban takes effect in 10 days even though the last one had to start IMMEDIATELY because we were in SUCH DANGER. #MoreLies,” George Takei tweeted.

Trump only issued a “new” travel ban because he can’t stand that he lost on the old one. This is about his ego, not about our security.

The new travel ban will ignite hostility towards us, increase the chance of terror attacks. I’m sure that’s something Bannon has thought of.

Oh look, another travel ban. If the first movie is a massive flop, there usually isn’t a sequel right away. There’s no Waterworld 2.

Dear @ericgarcetti: I’ve been a supporter, but you will lose me (and a LOT of others) if you don’t change this IMMEDIATELY. Please? https://t.co/ZHQ9oqVZs3
