What happened

Well supportedReported by 19 independent outlets

The Trump administration and United States Department of Homeland Security proposed significant changes to immigration programs and visa overhauls. These proposals include ending the 60-day grace period for certain temporary workers, such as H-1B holders, requiring them to leave the country once their employment ends. The administration also proposed introducing higher visa fees for skilled workers and pausing immigrant visa appointments around the world.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed changes target legal migration pathways and could disrupt employers that rely heavily on foreign workers, including major U.S. technology companies. The administration has also directed DHS to pursue H-1B visa reform.

The Trump administration has pivoted its strategy to target legal immigration pathways and directs an aggressive pursuit of immigration promises.
