A coalition of 20 states, primarily Democratic, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the new $100,000 H-1B visa fee.
Led by California attorney general Rob Bonta, the 20 states have challenged the $100,000 fee, which was implemented by the Department of Homeland Security on September 19.
In their lawsuit against the Trump administration, the states argued that it exceeded its authority granted by Congress and violated the Administrative Procedure Act because the new policy was an illegal attempt to dismantle the visa programme.
