The Department of Homeland Security announced a fee exceeding $103,000 on H-1B visas, while the State Department plans to revoke visas of up to 200,000 asylum seekers — potentially the largest mass visa revocation in US history.

Background
H-1B visas are a primary pathway for foreign tech workers to be employed in the United States, making them critical to the tech industry's workforce pipeline. This policy shift comes during Trump's second term as part of a broader immigration enforcement agenda.
