科技界联名起诉特朗普

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，包括苹果、亚马逊、微软和脸书在内的50多家科技公司和组织提交了一份非当事人意见陈述文件，一同支持起诉特朗普政府暂停发放工作签证的政令。

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，美国总统特朗普发布公告称，由于高失业率，暂时禁止几乎所有移民入境美国。

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，他又发布了一项公告，将4月的政令延长至今年年底，并通过对各种工作签证施加新的限制条件来扩大政令范围。

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.
包括美国商会、全国制造商协会和全国零售联合会在内的多个组织已经向加州和华盛顿联邦法院提起诉讼，挑战总统的政令。

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个州和哥伦比亚特区于8月7日提交了非当事人意见陈述文件，即“法庭之友”书状，以此来支持诉讼，并警告称签证禁令可能会导致不良的经济后果。

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.
陈述文件称，具体而言，这些公告“将扼杀创新，阻碍增长，并最终以无法弥补的方式伤害美国工人、企业和经济。”
