“We are distressed at the prospect of ripping our DACA colleagues from the fabric of our company,' Apple's Tim Cook said in a brief to the Supreme Court.
In a friend-of-the-court brief filed Wednesday, top executives at Apple Inc. urged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold DACA, the Obama-era law protecting the immigration status of those who came to America as the children of undocumented immigrants.
“We did not hire them out of kindness or charity,” they wrote. “We did it because Dreamers embody Apple’s innovation strategy. They come from diverse backgrounds and display a wide range of skills and experiences that equip them to tackle problems from different perspectives. Because they thrived in the face of adversity, they often exhibit extraordinary levels of grit and drive. . . . They have earned the right to continue to contribute to our company and to our society.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in November over the Trump administration’s 2017 decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. A ruling is expected by next June. If the Trump administration’s decision is upheld, hundreds of thousands of young immigrants could be deported.
