Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson has joined a lawsuit against the federal government alleging that President Donald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order that imposes entry restrictions on people from seven different countries is unconstitutional.

"It does not pass constitutional muster, is inconsistent with our history as a nation, and undermines our national security," Swanson said. "America can keep its people safe without sacrificing bedrock constitutional principles."

The lawsuit, filed earlier this week by Washington State, is gaining support form major corporations including Apple, Google, and Airbnb, concerned about the impact of the travel ban on the economy and their employees.
