U.S. Labor Department Investigates New York Hospital Over H-1B Visa Hiring Claims
Rochester General Hospital in New York faces scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Labor over claims that 80 of 82 resident doctors hired were foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas. Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito requested the hospital provide data on visa holders and American applicants, citing President Trump's executive order targeting visa abuse. The claim originated from a social media post and has not been independently verified, prompting an ongoing investigation into potential misuse of the visa program.
