• Trump administration issues executive order imposing $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visa employers — Trump issued an executive order imposing a $100,000 annual fee on employers for each H-1B visa worker employed. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick clarified the terms. The order prompted immediate backlash over concerns it would effectively eliminate the H-1B program. Within one day, U.S. government agencies clarified via social media that the fee is a one-time charge rather than annual, and does not apply to existing visa holders, reducing but not eliminating the burden on employers and workers.
• Presidential proclamation restricts H-1B nonimmigrant worker entry unless accompanied by $100,000 payment — President issued Proclamation 10973 restricting entry of H-1B specialty occupation workers into the United States for 12 months, effective September 21, 2025, unless petitions are accompanied by a $100,000 payment. The proclamation cites systemic abuse of the H-1B program to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign labor, particularly in IT and STEM fields. The Secretary of Homeland Security may grant exemptions if hiring is deemed in the national interest. The proclamation also directs the Secretary of Labor to initiate rulemaking to revise prevailing wage levels and the Secretary of Homeland Security to prioritize admission of high-skilled, high-paid aliens.

• Trump administration issues proclamation imposing $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions — The White House issued a fact sheet announcing that President Trump signed a proclamation restricting entry of certain H-1B nonimmigrant workers and requiring a $100,000 payment to accompany new H-1B petitions. The proclamation directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to restrict approvals for petitions not accompanied by the payment, allows case-by-case exemptions, and directs the Departments of Labor and Homeland Security to issue joint guidance on verification and enforcement.

The restriction takes effect September 21, 2025, and expires after 12 months unless extended. The Secretary of Homeland Security may grant exemptions if hiring is deemed in the national interest.
• White House issues FAQ on H-1B visa proclamation with $100,000 fee requirement — The White House published a frequently-asked-questions document on September 21, 2025, explaining a proclamation signed by President Trump on September 19, 2025, titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers." The proclamation imposes a $100,000 payment requirement on all new H-1B visa petitions submitted after 12:01 a.m. EDT on September 21, 2025, including the 2026 lottery. The FAQ states the proclamation does not affect previously issued visas or petitions submitted before the effective date, and does not restrict travel for current H-1B visa holders. The White House indicates further reforms are planned, including Department of Labor rulemaking to raise prevailing wage levels and Department of Homeland Security rulemaking to prioritize higher-paid workers in the H-1B lottery.

• Department of Labor proposes OSHA general duty clause exemption for employers — The Department of Labor is pushing to create an exemption for employers from the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which obligates employers to keep workers safe on the job. The exemption would weaken baseline occupational safety requirements across industries.

The order has enabled ICE agents to conduct arrests and detentions inside hospitals, disrupting patient care, preventing access to family and attorneys, and violating patient privacy protections. Nurses and healthcare workers report increased ICE presence at facilities across California and other states, with agents blocking medical staff from treating patients and interfering with discharge protocols.

• Texas enacts Senate Bill 17 restricting property purchases by Chinese, Iranian, Russian, and North Korean nationals — Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 17 into law, prohibiting nationals from China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea from purchasing most types of real estate in the state. The law permits limited exemptions for those with lawful status and US residency, such as primary residence purchases, but bars additional property acquisitions including commercial buildings, farmland, and rental homes. The measure was justified on national security grounds despite evidence to the contrary. Legal challenges have been filed arguing the law violates the Fair Housing Act and the Constitution's protections against national-origin discrimination.

The statement attributed the murder to Democratic policies without evidence. The article documents that the suspect was released in January 2025 for a misdemeanor 911 call; Cooper's June 2020 executive order created only an advisory task force whose recommendations were never enacted and preceded the suspect's actual release by months.
