Users of the right-wing forum 4chan attempted to stop Indian people from returning to the U.S. in response to President Donald Trump’s H-1B visa overhaul by block-booking plane seats over the weekend as part of a prank dubbed “Operation Clog the Toilet.”
After Trump announced on Friday that applicants for H-1B visas would be subjected to a $100,000 fee, rather than being granted them via a lottery system, several major corporations, including Amazon, Microsoft, and JPMorgan, instructed their employees to stay in the U.S. or return home from foreign travel as soon as possible to avoid the financial penalty.
