What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

The Trump administration implemented executive actions on September 18 to restrict the H-1B visa program, including extending a $100,000 fee for the visas and requiring federal agencies to protect American workers from program abuse. The $100,000 fee is currently being litigated in federal court. Separately, a federal judge in Boston is scheduled to hear arguments regarding an executive order that prohibited the U.S. Postal Service from requiring states to use a new mail balloting system.
