US Court rules Trump can impose extra H-1B employer fee under broad INA authority powers law

A federal district court has ruled that President Donald Trump lawfully imposed an additional $100,000 fee on employers seeking new H-1B visas, citing the Immigration and Nationality Acts broad grant of authority. The judge rejected claims from business and higher education groups that the proclamation exceeded presidential powers or was improperly implemented. The decision upholds agency compliance with a binding directive, while challengers have filed an appeal.
