US District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, DC, ruled Tuesday that the steep increase is lawful, handing the administration a win as it pushes to curb immigration and steer hiring toward US workers.
US District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, DC, said in the opinion that President Donald Trump's order made on September 19 to hike visa fees "rests on a straightforward reading of congressional statutes giving the President broad authority to regulate entry into the United States for immigrants and nonimmigrants alike."
"Here, Congress has decided to delegate broad power to the President to restrict entry of noncitizens '[w]henever the President finds that" such entry 'would be detrimental to the interests of the United States,'" wrote Howell.
