Trump's work visa ban challenged
科技界聯名起訴特朗普More than 50 technology companies and organizations, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook, filed an amicus brief on Monday in support of lawsuits against the Trump administration's suspension of work visas.
8月10日，包括蘋果、亞馬遜、微軟和臉書在內的50多家科技公司和組織提交了一份非當事人意見陳述文件，一同支持起訴特朗普政府暫停發放工作簽證的政令。US President Donald Trump issued a proclamation in April suspending the entry of nearly all immigrants to the US due to the high unemployment rate.
今年4月，美國總統特朗普發佈公告稱，由於高失業率，暫時禁止幾乎所有移民入境美國。
He issued another proclamation in June, extending the April order through the end of this year and expanding it by imposing new restrictions on a variety of work visas.
今年6月，他又發佈了一項公告，將4月的政令延長至今年年底，並通過對各種工作簽證施加新的限制條件來擴大政令範圍。
A diverse set of parties, including the US Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Retail Federation, have filed lawsuits in California and Washington federal courts to challenge the president's orders.
包括美國商會、全國製造商協會和全國零售聯合會在內的多個組織已經向加州和華盛頓聯邦法院提起訴訟，挑戰總統的政令。Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of the suits on Aug 7, warning that the visa ban could result in economic fallout.
22個州和哥倫比亞特區於8月7日提交了非當事人意見陳述文件，即“法庭之友”書狀，以此來支持訴訟，並警告稱簽證禁令可能會導致不良的經濟後果。Specifically, the proclamations "will stifle innovation, hinder growth, and ultimately harm US workers, businesses, and the economy more broadly in irreparable ways", according to the brief.
陳述文件稱，具體而言，這些公告“將扼殺創新，阻礙增長，並最終以無法彌補的方式傷害美國工人、企業和經濟。”
