DHS to impose $103,000 fee on H-1B visas amid sweeping immigration crackdown

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on Monday a fee exceeding $103,000 on H-1B visas, a work visa widely used by the tech industry. Separately, the State Department is reportedly planning to revoke visas of up to 200,000 asylum seekers, which would mark the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history according to the Associated Press. Both moves are part of the Trump administration's broader immigration enforcement strategy, now more than a year into his second term. Analysts note the administration has increasingly targeted legal immigrants as a means of reaching its deportation targets, going beyond ICE arrests and deportations.
