California, Massachusetts, and 18 other states have filed a lawsuit against President Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions. The lawsuit alleges the fee is unconstitutional, as the administration exceeded Congress's fee-setting authority and did not undergo a notice-and-comment process. The states argue the fee will exacerbate labor shortages in key sectors and worsen the national teacher shortage.
