Judge Strikes Down $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas Imposed by Trump
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal judge has overturned the $100,000 fee imposed on new H-1B visas by the Trump administration. Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston ruled in favor of 20 states that challenged the policy, stating that the executive branch exceeded its authority and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. The fee aimed to deter foreign workers from taking jobs from Americans, but it raised concerns among employers and workers. The H-1B visas are typically issued for high-skilled jobs, with a significant number going to Indian workers. The ruling may lead to further legal challenges across different circuit courts.
