The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for foreign workers.

The business group said in its lawsuit that a proclamation issued by Trump in September to impose the fee on new H-1B visa applications is federal overreach and would disrupt the U.S. visa system.
