Nessel Wins H-1B Fee Lawsuit

Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel just scored a major legal win as a federal court in Massachusetts tossed out the Trump-era $100,000 H-1B visa fee, a move that could reshape how companies hire foreign workers and protect vital public services. Nessel joined the lawsuit in December 2025, arguing the fee crippled Michigan’s economy and hurt employers—especially in the public sector. While the ruling removes the fee, the federal government can still appeal. This victory is part of Nessel’s broader strategy: her office has filed 54 lawsuits against the Trump administration and 68 amicus briefs, all aimed at blocking what she sees as unlawful federal policies. Her team tracks every case on a public website, showing how these legal battles have already saved or recovered over $2.2 billion for Michigan residents. This H-1B win is just one piece of her aggressive, state-first approach to federal accountability. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
