🔥 LEGAL MELTDOWN: California and 20 States SUE Trump Administration Over SHOCKING $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee — Businesses on Edge but wait they is more to this see more 👇🏻👇🏻

A major legal showdown is unfolding after California and a coalition of 20 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit on Friday against the Trump administration, challenging a controversial policy that would charge employers a staggering $100,000 for every new H-1B visa requested for foreign workers.

The lawsuit has sent shockwaves through the business world, with critics calling the policy an unprecedented financial barrier that could effectively cripple legal employment-based immigration. According to the states, the fee is not a regulatory adjustment—it’s a deliberate deterrent that threatens to choke off access to skilled global talent across key industries.

Tech companies, hospitals, universities, and research institutions are among those expected to feel the impact most sharply. Many rely heavily on H-1B workers for specialized roles that are difficult to fill domestically. The attorneys general argue that the policy could stall innovation, disrupt essential services, and push companies to move jobs—and investments—outside the United States.

Supporters of the administration’s move say the policy is designed to protect American workers and discourage overreliance on foreign labor. But opponents counter that the fee is so extreme it amounts to a de facto shutdown of the H-1B program, raising serious questions about legality, executive authority, and economic consequences.

The lawsuit claims the administration overstepped its powers and failed to follow proper rulemaking procedures. If successful, the challenge could halt the policy and set limits on how far future administrations can go in reshaping immigration through financial pressure rather than legislation.

As the case moves forward, businesses across the country are watching closely. The outcome could reshape the future of America’s workforce, redefine how companies compete globally, and determine whether skilled immigration remains accessible—or becomes a luxury only the largest corporations can afford.
