The US Justice Department has allowed a ruling on job advertisements targeting H-1B visa holders to stand, holding that discriminatory advertising alone is not a separate legal violation. The decision has implications for employers, US workers and Indian professionals seeking US jobs.
Federal courts across several US states have ordered bond hearings or immediate release for multiple Indian nationals in immigration detention, questioning the application of mandatory detention provisions and underscoring due process protections.
Introduced by Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, the Bill seeks to amend the 'Immigration and Nationality Act' to eliminate the H-1B visa programme, and for other purposes. The Bill has been referred to the committee on Judiciary, and in addition to committees on Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means.
