The judge in the court case (Global Nurse Force v Trump) challenging the September 2025 $100,000 H-1B fee has issued another injunction against that fee (or more appropriately, "tax"), as well as the one issued in September 2026. While the motion to dismiss was denied, the injunction was approved. The court order is here.

The next case management hearing is scheduled for October 27, 2026.
