💨 Abstract

A coalition of Democratic states sued the Trump administration over a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, announced several state attorneys general. The fee, announced in September, aims to reduce the program's use. Led by California's Rob Bonta, the lawsuit argues the fee exceeds congressional authority. The attorneys general claim the fee will burden employers and affect critical sectors like healthcare and education, which rely heavily on H-1B visa holders.
