Case Summary

This case challenged the Trump administration's issuance and implementation of Presidential Proclamation No. 10,973, titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers” (Proclamation). Specifically, the lawsuit targeted the administration's sudden imposition of a $100,000 "payment" requirement for H-1B visa petitions. On October 3, 2025, Global Nurse Force, along with several other labor unions (United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Service Employ…

This case challenged the Trump administration's issuance and implementation of Presidential Proclamation No. 10,973, titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers” (Proclamation). Specifically, the lawsuit targeted the administration's sudden imposition of a $100,000 "payment" requirement for H-1B visa petitions.

On October 3, 2025, Global Nurse Force, along with several other labor unions (United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Service Employees International Union, and Committee of Interns and Residents), academic associations (American Association of University Professors and Global Village Academy Collaborative), religious organizations (Society of the Divine Word, Fathers of St. Charles, and Church on the Hill), and two individual visa applicants, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Represented by the Justice Action Center, Democracy Forward, South Asian American Justice Collaborative, and private counsel, the plaintiffs sued President Trump in his official capacity, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Secretary, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and its Director, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and its Commissioner, and the Department of State (DOS) and its Secretary. 

The plaintiffs asserted that the Proclamation and the agencies' subsequent "guidance" violated the separation of powers and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The plaintiffs alleged that the $100,000 requirement—announced with less than 36 hours’ notice—was untethered to the actual costs of adjudication and effectively acted as a revenue-generating tax. The complaint highlighted the immediate harm to U.S. healthcare systems, universities, and religious ministries that relied on H-1B workers but could not afford the fee. As to the President, they claimed this policy unlawfully conditioned the adjudication of petitions and entry into the United States on an exorbitant fee that was ultra vires, exceeding the President's statutory authority under the INA and usurping Congress's power of taxation. As to agency defendants, the plaintiffs claimed the implementation of the Proclamation violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it was in excess of statutory authority under the INA, not in accordance with the law under the INA, arbitrary and capricious for not considering relevant factors and alternatives, and bypassed notice-and-comment requirements.

The plaintiffs sought declaratory relief setting aside the $100,000 requirement and its implementation as unlawful, and injunctive relief preventing enforcement of the requirement. The case was assigned to District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr.

Plaintiffs filed a motion to allow the two visa applicant plaintiffs to proceed under pseudonyms “Phoenix Doe” and “John Smith” on October 3, 2025.  On November 7, 2025, a pro se litigant filed a motion to intervene as a co-defendant. The court denied the motion to intervene on December 3, 2025, because the litigant asserted nothing more than personal views on this case. 2025 WL 3473768.

On December 18, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, a motion to certify a class, and a motion for a preliminary injunction. In the amended complaint and motion to certify a class, the plaintiffs sought to represent an “Employer Class,” which included the approximately 14,000 U.S. employers who had filed, will file, or would have filed an H-1B petition subject to the $100,000 fee between September 21, 2025, and September 21, 2026. Further, the amended complaint added Nephrology Associates of the Carolinas, BAE Industries, and Lower Brule Day School, all organizations that had allegedly been injured by the defendants’ conduct, as plaintiffs that would represent the employer class. Additionally, the amended complaint and motion for a preliminary injunction requested the court to issue a preliminary injunction preventing the defendants from enforcing the $100,000 fee and the related restrictions imposed by the Proclamation. 

On December 23, 2025, the defendants sought a stay pending the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia’s decision on the merits in Chamber of Commerce v. Trump. The defendants asserted that Chamber of Commerce, which also alleged that the Proclamation was in excess of statutory authority and unlawful under the APA, was further along in the litigation process, and that a stay of this case was appropriate to avoid duplicative litigation. However, the same day, the court in Chamber of Commerce granted summary judgment for the government on all claims. 2025 WL 3719234. In light of that decision, the defendants in this case withdrew their motion for a stay on December 24, 2025.

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim on February 19, 2026. 

On March 26, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a notice of factual developments, notifying the court that on March 20, 2026, plaintiffs Nephrology Associates and BAE Industries each received identical emails from DHS denying their requests for a National Interest Exemption from the $100,000 fee for H-1B petitions for their prospective employee and current employee, respectively. The plaintiffs stated that this factual development was relevant to their claim that the $100,000 requirement violated the APA and to their rebuttal of the defendants’ exception-related arguments regarding standing and irreparable harm.

On June 9, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a statement of recent decision in California v. Mullin, a case brought by twenty states also challenging the Proclamation. The court in that case vacated DHS’s and DOS’s policies implementing the $100,000 fee. 833 F.Supp.3d 50. The plaintiffs in this case filed another statement of recent decision in Mullin on July 28, 2026. In Mullin, the First Circuit Court of Appeals had denied the government’s motion to stay because the government failed to show it was likely to succeed on the merits and failed to show that plaintiffs and the general public would not be substantially injured by the required fee. 183 F.4th 42.

The plaintiffs filed another notice of recent factual developments on September 24, 2026, informing the court that President Trump issued a new proclamation, Presidential Proclamation No. 11,069 (2026 Proclamation), on September 18, 2026, extending the prior Proclamation through September 21, 2027. The plaintiffs stated that this development presented ongoing risks of excessive payment collection.

On September 30, 2026, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction to vacate the agency’s policies, but denied the motion otherwise. 2026 WL 2972985. The court also denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss given the legal complexities and developments in other cases since the motion was filed. Additionally, the court denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class, in part because the court did not find certification necessary to grant the preliminary injunction vacating agency policies.

The same day, the court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for the two visa applicants to proceed under pseudonyms. 2026 WL 2943929. One plaintiff, “Phoenix Doe,” voluntarily dismissed her case because the government approved her H-1B petition and discretionary change of status request. The court denied pseudonymity to “John Smith” because his retaliation concerns were too generalized. On October 5, 2026, the plaintiffs Church on the Hill and “John Smith” voluntarily dismissed their claims.

On October 9, 2026, the defendants appealed the September 30 Order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and filed a motion to stay proceedings given the similar appeals in Chamber of Commerce and Mullin and the likelihood of a Supreme Court judgment in one of those cases in the near future. The plaintiffs opposed this stay on October 13, 2026, arguing that a stay would damage the plaintiffs’ ability to achieve relief.

As of October 19, 2026, this case is ongoing.
