· Technology · Reuters, Hindustan Times, The Australian
The Trump administration has frozen new green card issuances for major technology firms including Microsoft and other IT companies, citing alleged fraud in university recruitment practices. The freeze targets a pathway used by technology companies to bring skilled foreign workers to the United States, with reports indicating the suspension was implemented earlier this month.
