A long list of firms, from the largest in the nation to startups, have joined together to support the legal fight against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
Tech companies frequently depend on immigrant labor.
The travel ban has been put on hold by a federal appeals court. On Sunday and Monday, 127 companies signed a motion supporting the suit brought by the attorneys general of Minnesota and Washington state. Almost all are tech companies.
