Trump Moves to Limit Foreign Workers in Federal Agencies

The order to ban workers on H-1B visas from occupying jobs in federal agencies comes after the federally-owned Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) announced plans to outsource around 20 percent of its technology jobs to foreign-based companies.

As a result, Trump said he was removing two appointees of the TVA’s board of directors, including Chairman James Thompson, and threatened to remove TVA CEO Jeff Lyash from office.
