Dem states sue over $100k H-1B fee as MAGA fumes over jobs flight to India
The TOI correspondent from Washington: A coalition of 20 US states led by Democratic attorneys general filed a federal lawsuit Friday challenging the Trump administration’s controversial $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, claiming the policy exceeds presidential authority and threatens US labor markets and critical services.
The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts and spearheaded by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, argues that the fee far surpasses what federal law allows and was implemented without proper legal procedures.
