Trump Administration Freezes Green-Card Program for Microsoft, Adobe and Major IT Firms. The Trump administration suspended Microsoft, Adobe and major IT firms from an employment green-card program Thursday. Officials said the move targets alleged fraud and protects American workers from unfair foreign labor practices. The suspension also covers Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini in America. Labor officials said no new or pending permanent labor certification applications involving those companies will proceed. Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of abusing immigration programs while cutting thousands of American jobs. Microsoft rejected claims of underpaying foreign workers and said most H-1B filings involved current employees already. The administration also opened investigations into nine universities over alleged misuse of exchange-visitor visas and research. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown and MIT are among institutions facing subpoenas and federal scrutiny over compliance.
