Trump Admin Freezes Green Cards at Major Tech Firms, Probes Student Exchange Visas
The Administration said it is suspending green cards for Microsoft and other companies and probing nine universities over alleged visa fraud.
The Trump Administration has taken further action against immigration fraud by freezing green cards for major tech firms, including Microsoft and Adobe, and expanding its investigation into student exchange visa programs at universities. Vice President J.D. Vance accused the companies of abusing H-1B visa and green card processes to replace American workers with foreign labor.
The administration has suspended eight IT outsourcing firms from applying to sponsor employment-based green cards, citing ongoing federal investigations. The move marks an escalation in the Trump Administration's scrutiny of skilled worker immigration programs, with the aim to protect American workers and prevent wage suppression.
