A District judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s necessary reforms of the H-1B visa worker program which is too often used by Fortune 500 CEOs to sideline many American professionals and new graduates.
Judge Jeffrey White, of the Northern District of California, argued Trump’s rules were illegal on a procedural technicality because officials had not spent enough time collecting and responding to comments from companies and workers who would be impacted by the change. The judge added:
Defendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the rational and thoughtful discourse that is provided by the (Administrative Procedure Act’s) notice and comment requirements … the Court sets aside the Rules.
