Tech Companies File Legal Brief Against Trump's Immigration Order

[Batman_fan]

More than 120 companies, from Apple to Zynga, filed an impassioned legal brief condemning President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration, stepping up the industry’s growing opposition to the policy.

Airbnb, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Netflix, Snap and Uber Technologies are among the other technology companies that participated. Businesses beyond the tech industry signed on as well, including Levi Strauss & Co. and yogurt maker Chobani. On Monday, Tesla and SpaceX also joined the friend-of-the-court brief. Both companies are led by Elon Musk, who serves on Trump’s business-policy advisory council.

"Immigrants make many of the Nation’s greatest discoveries, and create some of the country’s most innovative and iconic companies," the brief states. “America has long recognized the importance of protecting ourselves against those who would do us harm. But it has done so while maintaining our fundamental commitment to welcoming immigrants—through increased background checks and other controls on people seeking to enter our country.”
