Judge Strikes Down Trump’s H-1B Fee

A federal judge just struck down the Trump administration’s controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee, ruling it unconstitutional and an overreach of executive power. The fee, meant to deter foreign workers from taking American jobs, sparked nationwide backlash — especially from states struggling to hire teachers, doctors, and university staff. Employers and advocacy groups scrambled as the policy caused chaos, even prompting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to weigh in. While one court had previously backed the fee, this Boston ruling flips the script, siding with states that warned the fee would cripple education, healthcare, and research. The Department of Homeland Security is furious, calling it “judicial activism,” but the judge’s decision sends a clear message: immigration policy can’t be rewritten without congressional approval.
