Microsoft barred from sponsoring foreign workers for US residency

The Trump administration has barred Microsoft from sponsoring foreign workers for US permanent residency, according to Ars Technica, in what is described as a new immigration crackdown targeting the company. The move would prevent Microsoft from putting foreign employees on the path to green cards, affecting thousands of skilled workers at the tech giant.

Why now: The restriction on a major employer's ability to sponsor workers for residency is an unprecedented escalation in the administration's immigration crackdown, affecting tech workers and the industry broadly.
