More than 120 companies, from Apple to Zynga, filed an impassioned legal brief condemning President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration, stepping up the industry’s growing opposition to the policy.

The amicus brief was filed late Sunday in the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco and emphasizes the importance of immigrants in the economy and society. The companies originally planned to file the brief later this week, but accelerated efforts over the weekend after other legal challenges to the order, according to people familiar with the matter.
