BREAKING: Trump loses visa appeal at First Circuit
['The Right Scoop']
The Right Scoop
President Trump just lost his appeal at the First Circuit to reinstate his $100k payment for the H-1B visa.
Here’s the ruling:🚨 The First Circuit denied the Trump administration's request to keep its $100,000 H-1B visa payment requirement in effect pending appeal, leaving in place a lower court order that vacated the policy.
