A federal judge on Monday struck down a $100,000 fee that U.S. President Donald Trump imposed on new ​H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers, concluding that it ‌constituted an unlawful tax that Congress never authorized.

U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston issued the ruling in a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state ​attorneys general challenging a fee Trump announced in September ​that dramatically raised the cost of obtaining H-1B visas.
