US judge upholds Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee despite pushback

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected the US Chamber of Commerce’s challenge to President Donald Trump’s $100,000 fee on H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers, ruling it falls within presidential powers. Critics said the fee could force businesses to cut jobs or services. The judge said Trump adequately backed up his claim that the H-1B program was displacing US workers.
