President Donald Trump-led US administration has intensified its crackdown on the US immigration system, suspending several major technology and IT outsourcing companies from the Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) programme — a key route through which employers sponsor eligible foreign workers for employment-based green cards. The companies named in the latest action include Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, Capgemini, Microsoft and Adobe. The move comes amid a broader US government push to investigate alleged abuse of H-1B visas and other immigration programmes, with officials arguing that foreign-worker hiring practices could hurt American employees. US Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling announced the action alongside Vice President JD Vance and officials involved in the administration’s anti-fraud efforts.
