While Uber is dealing with fallout from its response to Trump's Friday
immigration order, when it tweeted it would pause surge pricing, which
was taken as a form of "strike breaking," whilst simultaneously
profiting off the situation, and its actions were seen as seeking to
grab market share from striking taxi drivers, leading to a #DeleteUber meme spreading across social networks,
it has a more tangible problem in Argentina, where Buenos Aires
prosecutor Martin Lapadi moments ago requested the arrest of local Uber
executives, and ordered the shut down of the company's mobile
application.

Police in Hull have warned the public to avoid bogus taxis after seizing a suspect car on Saturday night.
The car was believed to be acting as an unlicensed taxi and was seen picking up members of the public in Newland Avenue.
The vehicle was stopped on suspicion of committing road traffic offences and the driver is being investigated under suspicion of being an unlicensed taxi driver. The car was also impounded by police while the investigation continues.
Police say the incident highlights growing concern about the use of unlicensed taxis in Hull - in particular for women trying tio find lifts home after socialising. Drivers using their own cars regularly use social media to tout for fares.
PC Julie Fenton, a community police officer based at Osborne Street, said: "I am aware of unlicensed vehicles travelling in and around Hull offering to take people home after a night out. This is an extremely worrying trend which can put vulnerable people at risk of becoming victims of crime.
"When people have had a few drinks and it is cold they are desperate to get home as soon as possible. I've seen women flagging down vehicles asking them for lifts home and it's really worrying.
