California and Massachusetts to sue Trump administration over $100K H-1B visa fee

2025/12/13 04:00

Key Takeaways

  • California and Massachusetts will lead a multi-state lawsuit against the $100K H-1B application fee.
  • The suit argues the policy is unlawful and procedurally improper under federal law.

California and Massachusetts are preparing to sue the Trump administration over its new $100,000 H-1B visa application fee, arguing the measure imposes an unlawful burden on employers and was enacted without following required rulemaking procedures.

The lawsuit, expected to be filed Friday, marks the first legal challenge to the fee by U.S. states. It follows lawsuits filed in October by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a coalition of labor unions and staffing firms, which are still pending.

The H-1B visa program allows U.S.-based employers to hire foreign workers in specialized fields. Trump announced a sweeping overhaul of the program in September, claiming the system had been exploited at the expense of American workers.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.
