- A federal judge voided President Donald Trump's $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas.
- The judge ruled that only Congress has the authority to impose such a fee, viewing it as a tax.
- H-1B visas allow foreign professionals with specialized skills to work in the U.S.
- The policy was challenged by Democratic state attorneys general, arguing it overstepped executive power.
- The judge stated immigration laws do not grant the president the power to levy taxes in this context.
