A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
A federal judge blocked President Trump's policy requiring a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, ruling it violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution. Judge Leo Sorokin found the fee was effectively a tax not delegated to the executive branch by Congress. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit by 20 states. The Trump administration plans to appeal.
