Summary · why it matters

The Trump administration said it would suspend eight technology companies from a green card program that lets them bring foreign workers into the US and obtain permanent residency, with Microsoft at the top of the list. Adobe was also on the list, along with a number of Indian outsourcing and IT companies known for outsourcing, including Cognizant and Infosys. Vice President JD Vance called Microsoft the worst offender in the program. On the same day, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was at the White House receiving an award for his innovation and tech leadership. The tech industry has pushed back, arguing it relies on these workers because it cannot find enough qualified people in the US, and the administration has not said whether the suspensions will stick or expand to other companies.
