Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
A federal judge in Alaska blocked President Trump's policy imposing a $100,000 fee on new H1-B visas, ruling it violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution. The decision could save hundreds of education jobs in Alaska, as the H1-B visa program allows foreign professionals in specialty occupations (STEM, healthcare, education) to work in the U.S. for up to six years.
