US court refuses to stay Trump’s move to cut H-1B visas

Friday, 18 September 2020 | PNS | Washington

A US court has declined to bar the Donald Trump administration’s move in US to curtail H-1B visas widely used by foreign technology workers.

The ruling on Wednesday was the second time this month that US District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington has denied a request to suspend the proclamation.

Trump’s June 22 proclamation declaring foreign workers a risk to the US labour market amid the coronavirus pandemic triggered pushback from workers and business groups. An array of the nation’s biggest tech companies have warned that the policy will do “irreparable harm on businesses and the US’ economy.”
