Judge halts Trump visa fee hike
A federal judge in Boston has struck down the Trump administration’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, ruling that the policy exceeded executive authority and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. The ruling, which contradicts a previous court decision upholding the fee, was made in favor of 20 states that argued the higher fee impeded hiring for critical sectors like education, healthcare, and research. The decision temporarily halts the fee, which was scheduled to remain in effect until September 2026.
