A US court decision to strike down the Trump administration's $100,000 H-1B visa application fee has sparked mixed reactions from lawmakers.
Some Republican lawmakers, including Mike Lawler and Lisa Murkowski, welcomed the decision, citing its impact on staffing shortages in the healthcare industry and the need to recruit teachers in rural areas.
Meanwhile, prominent Democrats, such as Raja Krishnamoorthi, praised the ruling, arguing it would help drive innovation and strengthen American leadership in critical industries.
However, key members of the Republican party, including Ron DeSantis and Eric Schmitt, voiced dissatisfaction with the decision, claiming it was an example of judicial overreach.
The Trump White House remains confident that the visa repeal will be overturned on appeal.
