Story summary

On September 18, President Donald Trump renewed an executive order imposing a $100,000 fee on all newly issued H-1B visas, which he first introduced last year. Initially, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., upheld this decision and the fee was collected for several months. However, a different federal judge in Massachusetts later ruled against the collection of this fee, halting it entirely. This legal dispute highlights the contentious nature of visa policies and their impact on labor markets within the United States.
