    Apple employs 443 DACA recipients. Tim Cook is taking a stand

    New York (CNN Business) Apple is taking a public stand against the Trump administration's position on one of America's thorniest immigration issues.

    In an unusually direct show of support for Dreamers from a major public company, Apple and CEO Tim Cook said undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children have made an outsize contribution at Apple. The statement came in a "friend of the court" filing in cases pending at the US Supreme Court.

    Apple (AAPL) said it employs 443 Dreamers in 36 states, coming from 25 countries. That number is up from the 250 Apple announced in 2017.
