A summary of recent moves by the Trump admin to crackdown on foreign workers, students and the sponsors that recruit them: Trump has a new $103k fee proposed for many H-1B, and a reported $100k fee on OPT. A $4k fee for renewals of certain H-1B took effect on Sept 9.

The DHS is advancing a plan to end the layoff grace period of many work visas, and student visas are set to lose duration of status on Sept 15.
