The Department of Homeland Security finalized a rule that ended the automatic extension of employment authorization documents for many foreign workers and their spouses, effective October 14, 2026. In response, politicians like Greg Steube and Riley Moore criticized the H-1B program. Steube introduced H.R. 7451, which seeks to set the annual H-1B cap at zero beginning in fiscal year 2027.
