A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that former President Trump had the legal authority to impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas. The judge rejected arguments that the fee violated federal immigration law or exceeded executive branch authority. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which sued to block the measure, has appealed the decision to a higher court. The fee was part of an effort to curb perceived abuse of the H-1B visa program.
