Donald Trump has publicly criticized federal judges after a court ruled against his administration's proposed $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, labeling the decision as 'crazy.' The court found that the fee constituted an unlawful tax not authorized by Congress, which poses a significant setback to Trump's immigration policies. This ruling has garnered support from lawmakers across the political spectrum, who argue that the fee would adversely affect technology companies, hospitals, and educational institutions, particularly in rural areas that depend on foreign professionals to address staffing shortages. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska emphasized the bipartisan nature of the issue, noting its relevance to local academic institutions. Meanwhile, the White House has announced plans to challenge the ruling in an appeals court, asserting that the H-1B program has been misused for years. Indian diaspora groups have welcomed the court's decision, seeing it as a fair outcome for employment-based immigration, particularly since Indians are the primary beneficiaries of the H-1B visa program, which allocates 65,000 visas annually along with 20,000 for advanced degree holders from US institutions.
