Original article by Mica Rosenberg published in the Reuters on 02/06/2017

Per Reuters report:

Nearly 100 companies, including some of high-tech’s biggest names, joined a legal brief opposing President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban, arguing that it would give companies incentives to move jobs outside the United States.

The companies – including Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Google Inc(GOOGL.O) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) – banded together late on Sunday to file a “friend-of-the-court” brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco arguing that the ban “inflicts significant harm on American business.”
