Judge Halts Trump’s $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee
A federal judge struck down a $100,000 H-1B visa fee imposed by the Trump administration, ruling it violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution. The judge found the executive branch overstepped its authority by effectively levying a tax. The administration intends to appeal, arguing the program was exploited. This decision, impacting the tech industry’s recruitment of skilled foreign talent, echoes a Supreme Court ruling on executive authority for tariffs. The H-1B program is crucial for U.S. tech companies.
