A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama overturned a proclamation by the Trump administration Monday that required a $100,000 fee for employers seeking new H-1B visa applications.
The judge, Obama-appointee Leo Sorokin, argued in the decision that the six-figure fee set by President Donald Trump for employers seeking to temporarily hire foreign nationals is an unauthorized tax, according to court documents. Sorokin presides over the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts.
