8 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

A federal judge has ruled that former President Trump's $100,000 fee for H1-B visas is unconstitutional, stating that it constitutes a tax that Trump lacked the authority to impose. This decision could have significant implications for the immigration process and the costs associated with it.
The ruling highlights ongoing legal challenges related to Trump's policies during his administration.
The H1-B visa program is crucial for many companies seeking to hire skilled foreign workers. Trump's administration had implemented various changes to immigration policies, which have faced numerous legal challenges.
This ruling underscores the ongoing scrutiny of executive powers and the limits of authority when it comes to immigration policy. By categorizing the fee as a tax, the judge has opened the door for further legal challenges against similar fees imposed by the executive branch.
