California's Attorney General, Rob Bonta, and 19 states are suing the Trump administration over the increase in H-1B visa fees, deemed illegal.

The Attorney General of California, Rob Bonta, announced that he and 19 other states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the increase in fees for new H-1B visa applications to $100,000. Rob Bonta argues that these increases are illegal, exceeding the authority of Congress and undermining the purpose of the visa program for skilled workers.

He stated that no administration can rewrite immigration law or ignore the Constitution. Most users of these visas are large technology companies that bring in foreign workers, and Rob Bonta warns that the fees will exacerbate the labor shortage in essential sectors such as health and education. The lawsuit will be filed in federal court in Massachusetts, marking Bonta's 49th legal action against the Trump administration this year.
