The complaints describe concerns about potential constitutional violations and consequences for the U.S. economy, The New York Times reported. The 97 companies argued that the travel restrictions will make it more difficult to "recruit, hire, and retain some of the world's best employees," many of whom are immigrants from countries affected by the order.

"Immigrants make many of the Nation’s greatest discoveries, and create some of the country’s most innovative and iconic companies," the companies said in the brief. "America has long recognized the importance of protecting ourselves against those who would do us harm. But it has done so while maintaining our fundamental commitment to welcoming immigrants — through increased background checks and other controls on people seeking to enter our country."
