Judge agrees to pause the ruling abolishing the "Trump $100,000 H-1B visa fee"

``` A federal judge in Boston will temporarily pause his previous decision to revoke the $100,000 fee imposed on new H-1B workers, while the Trump administration seeks an emergency stay from the appeals court. Judge Leo Sorokin, in his June 8 ruling, found that the six-figure fee imposed by the Trump administration infringed upon Congress' exclusive taxing powers and violated the separation of powers principle. The ruling supported a lawsuit brought by 20 Democrat-led states, marking the first legal defeat for the policy. The policy had upended a key visa program centered on highly skilled workers. The Trump administration almost immediately appealed the decision, and on June 12 filed a motion requesting Judge Sorokin to stay his ruling pending a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Sorokin stated that he will stay the execution of his ruling in the Federal District Court of Massachusetts until the appeals court intervenes. Lawyers from the Department of Justice said the government is likely to successfully argue that the fee is a reasonable exercise of foreign trade and immigration authority.
