(Bloomberg/Madlin Mekelburg) A federal judge said the Trump administration can move ahead with a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, providing a setback for US technology companies that rely on hiring skilled foreign workers.

Miller reacted to the news by posting an angry reaction to X/Twitter, writing: The ruling has just been issued. A communist judge in LA has ordered ICE to report directly to her and radical left NGOs not the president.
The situation at the southern border constitutes an invasion of America, and Trump suspended the physical entry of migrants and their ability to seek asylum until he decides it is over.
Trump's federalization of the California National Guard was ruled illegal, violating statutory authority and the Tenth Amendment, requiring immediate return of control to the governor.
