‘Passport not mandatory, H-1Bs only’: Indian-origin Trump aide red-flags ‘illegal’ US tech job ad

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice, has once again flagged an unlawful hiring post strictly attracting H-1B visa holders for certain tech jobs in the United States. The Indian-origin official appointed by US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called out similar job advertisements outrightly disregarding or “discriminating against” American workers in her previous social media activity as well.

Amid the raging row over H-1B hiring replacing American workers, the Trump administration has ramped up its immigration crackdown as part of its ‘America First’ approach. As a result, the MAGA leader has imposed even stricter rules focussed on a major overhaul of the ‘specialty occupations’ US visa category meant to attract skilled foreign talent to America.
