A federal judge has thrown out Trump's 100-thousand-dollar H-1B visa fee — ruling it an unlawful tax. On June 8th, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin in Massachusetts struck down the surcharge, which Trump imposed by presidential proclamation in September 2025. The fee would have raised the cost of a standard H-1B petition from about 1,000 dollars to over 101,000 dollars — effectively blocking small and mid-sized businesses from hiring skilled foreign workers. Judge Sorokin ruled it was a tax in everything but name, imposed without congressional authorization, making it unconstitutional. The case was brought by a coalition of 20 Democratic-led states. The ruling is a major win for tech, healthcare, and engineering companies that depend on H-1B workers. But the fight isn't over — the Trump administration is expected to appeal, creating a potential circuit-court conflict that could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
