A federal judge has struck down one of the Trump administration's most controversial immigration policies, ruling that President Donald Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications was unlawful because it amounted to a tax imposed without congressional approval.
In a 42-page decision issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin of the District of Massachusetts invalidated the fee nationwide, siding with a coalition of 20 Democratic attorneys general who argued the policy would devastate universities, hospitals, technology companies, and state agencies that rely on highly skilled foreign workers.
