Donald Trump Vs Tech : 97 Tech Companies Fight Against Travel Ban

The 97 signatories include Apple, Facebook and Microsoft but surprisingly Amazon and Tesla are excluded.

The said document is an amicus brief , which allows parties not directly involved in a case but who feel they are affected by it, to give their view.

It was filed in Washington DC on Sunday.

Trump's order affected a lot of thing. It halted the entire US refugee programme for 120 days, indefinitely banned Syrian refugees and suspended permission to enter the US for all nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.


Visa holders from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be allowed to enter the US until the full case has been heard.

According to BBC:

The US president says national security is at risk as a result.

"Of course, the federal government can and should implement targeted, appropriate adjustments to the nation's immigration system to enhance the nation's security," reads the tech group's brief.

"But a broad, open-ended ban - together with an indication that the ban could be expanded to other countries without notice - does not fit the goal of making the country more secure. Instead, it will undermine American interests."
