Judge voids Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee

A federal judge in Massachusetts struck down the Trump administration’s $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, ruling it unlawful as an illegal unilateral tax imposed without Congress and failing to consider the impact on labor-shortage sectors like healthcare and education; the fee, challenged by California and 19 other states, could affect tech companies, universities and hospitals and the administration plans to appeal.
