Trump administration launches 175 probes into H-1B visa abuse
The Trump administration has launched about 175 investigations into H-1B visa abuse, including lapses such as low wages, non-existent work sites and the practice of “benching” employees. According to the US Department of Labour, the probes were part of a broader effort for the protection of American jobs.
“As part of our mission to protect American Jobs, we’ve launched 175 investigations into H-1B abuse,” the Labour Department said in a post on X Friday. It added that under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the agency will continue taking action to put American workers first.
