Case Summary

This case challenges the Trump administration's issuance and implementation of Presidential Proclamation No. 10,973, titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers." Specifically, the lawsuit targets the administration's sudden imposition of a $100,000 "payment" requirement for H-1B visa petitions. The Plaintiffs allege this policy unlawfully conditions the adjudication of petitions and entry into the United States on an exorbitant fee that exceeds the President's statutory author…

This case challenges the Trump administration's issuance and implementation of Presidential Proclamation No. 10,973, titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers." Specifically, the lawsuit targets the administration's sudden imposition of a $100,000 "payment" requirement for H-1B visa petitions. The Plaintiffs allege this policy unlawfully conditions the adjudication of petitions and entry into the United States on an exorbitant fee that exceeds the President's statutory authority, usurps Congress's power of taxation, and bypasses the Administrative Procedure Act's notice-and-comment requirements.

On October 3, 2025, Global Nurse Force, along with several labor unions (including UAW and SEIU), academic associations (AAUP), religious organizations (Society of the Divine Word, Fathers of St. Charles), and individual visa applicants, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and various other federal agencies and officials. Represented by the Justice Action Center, Democracy Forward, and other counsel, Plaintiffs asserted that the Proclamation and the agencies' subsequent "guidance" violate the separation of powers and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Plaintiffs allege that the $100,000 requirement—announced with less than 36 hours’ notice—is untethered to the actual costs of adjudication and effectively acts as a revenue-generating tax. The complaint highlights the immediate harm to U.S. healthcare systems, universities, and religious ministries that rely on H-1B workers but cannot afford the fee. Count I alleges the President acted ultra vires in excess of statutory authority. Counts II-IV target the Agency Defendants for violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, including acting arbitrarily and capriciously and failing to conduct required rulemaking. The case was assigned to District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr.

Plaintiffs filed a motion to allow witnesses "John Smith" and "Phoenix Doe" to proceed under pseudonyms on October 3, 2025. 

On November 7, 2025, pro se litigant Piero A. Bugoni filed a Motion to Intervene as a Co-Defendant; this was denied on December 3.

On December 18, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, a motion for class certification, and a motion for a preliminary injunction.
