California and other states to sue Trump admin over $100,000 H-1B visa fee

California and several other U.S. states are set to sue the Trump administration over a new fee of $100,000 imposed on H-1B visas. This legal action comes in response to the recent policy change affecting the visa program, which is commonly used by employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.

The lawsuit aims to challenge the legality of the fee, which critics argue could significantly hinder the ability of businesses to recruit skilled labor from abroad. The states involved in the lawsuit have not been publicly identified at this time.

This development follows a series of contentious immigration policies enacted by the Trump administration, including the recent decision to end temporary legal status for Ethiopians in the U.S. As previously reported, these policies have sparked widespread debate and legal challenges across the country.
