District Court Rules in Favor of DHS in Lawsuit Over $100,000 H-1B Fee

The Chamber of Commerce and the Association of American Universities sued DHS and the State Department, arguing the presidential proclamation limiting H-1B visas and imposing a $100,000 fee was unlawful. The court found the President acted within authority granted by Congress under immigration statutes. As a result, plaintiffs’ motion was denied, and defendants’ cross-motion for summary judgment was granted. (Chamber of Commerce v. DHS, 12/23/25)
