What happened

Well supportedReported by 19 independent outlets

The Trump administration has proposed several major changes to the immigration system, including the introduction of higher visa fees for skilled workers and a pause on immigrant visa appointments at U.S. missions globally. These proposals, published in the Federal Register by the Department of Homeland Security, include the potential end of the 60-day grace period for certain foreign workers, such as H-1B visa holders, requiring them to leave the country after their employment ends. The administration also proposed visa caps and residency limits, which were subsequently challenged by a judge who granted an injunction against them.
