The companies that signed the amicus brief, however, disagree with the administration’s stance. They explained that suspending the country’s nonimmigrant visa programs “fundamentally disserves the interests of the United States by stifling the ability of US businesses to attract the world’s best talent, drive innovation, and further American economic prosperity.” The companies also said that they filed the brief to highlight how the guest worker ban can stifle innovation and “ultimately harm US workers, businesses and the economy more broadly in irreparable ways.”

Aside from Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, the signees also include Twitter, HP, Intel, Dropbox, Netflix, GitHub, PayPal, Reddit and Uber.

The tech industry has been backing various efforts to combat the administration’s visa bans over the past few months. In July, several tech giants, such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft joined a lawsuit that pushes back against a new rule that would force foreign students to leave the US if their colleges implemented online-only classes this fall. Their support for a lawsuit against the guest worker ban is far from unexpected, seeing as a lot of tech companies recruit overseas talent, and H-1B is usually their visa of choice.

After a deadly car crash, Georgia police downloaded data from the Event Data Recorder on Mobley’s car to determine his speed before the crash, using that to level more severe accusations against him. Georgia has contended that this was legal under the Fourth Amendment’s “vehicle exception” allowing searches for physical items, but the ACLU believes this doesn’t count for digital data. It likened this to requiring a warrant for phone data — just because the device holding the data is obtainable without a warrant doesn’t mean the data is also up for grabs.

There’s no certainty that the court will take the ACLU’s briefing into account. The decision could have a significant impact on how police search car data, though. And the verdict is likely to become more important over time as connected and self-driving cars take hold — they may store very detailed daa about you and your driving habits.
