Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and other major U.S. cities
and counties respectfully submit this motion for leave to file a brief amicus curiae in
support of Plaintiffs’ motion to convert the temporary restraining order to a
preliminary injunction.

1.

Amici include the largest cities and counties in the United

States. Along with other cities across the country, our physical and economic
security is damaged by Executive Order 13780, issued on March 6, 2017, and
entitled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United
States,” as we describe in our brief.

2.

The proposed amicus brief explains how the Order’s discrimination on

the basis of religion and national origin will significantly undermine the safety,
economic well-being, and social cohesion in our communities and across the United
States.
3.

Plaintiffs have consented to this motion. Defendants take no position

on our request to file an amicus brief.

WHEREFORE, amici respectfully request that this Court grant them leave to
file the amicus brief attached hereto.
Dated: March 23, 2017
Respectfully submitted,
s/Benna Ruth Solomon
s/Robert M. Kohn
