Which US Republican lawmaker introduced the 'EXILE Act' seeking to end the H-1B visa programme, alleging its misuse by corporations to import cheaper foreign labour?
Greg SteubeUS Representative Greg Steube of Florida introduced the 'Ending Exploitative Imported Labour Exemptions (EXILE) Act' which proposes amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to completely scrap the H-1B visa system. Steube argued that prioritizing foreign labour undermines US national interests and claimed the programme has displaced American workers and graduates. The bill's accompanying statement revealed that over 80 percent of H-1B recipients are Indian or Chinese nationals. The legislation cited instances of job losses at major companies including Disney, Microsoft, and Southern California Edison allegedly linked to H-1B hiring practices. This development has significant implications for Indian IT professionals who form the largest contingent of H-1B visa holders in the United States.

Due to a removal notice submitted by Opposition MPsLok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced on February 10, 2026 that he would not attend the proceedings of the House until the disposal of his removal notice submitted by Opposition MPs. Approximately 120 Opposition MPs, including members from Congress, Samajwadi Party, NCP(SP), Shiv Sena(UBT), and DMK, submitted the notice alleging that Birla acted in a 'blatantly partisan' manner by not allowing Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders to speak on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address. The notice also cited his decision to suspend eight MPs as grounds for removal. Birla directed the Lok Sabha Secretary General to examine the notice, while BJP criticized the move, with national spokesperson Sambit Patra stating that 'those who have been impeached of their consciousness are the ones who want to impeach all constitutional posts'. Birla retains the constitutional right to defend himself if the resolution is discussed in the Lok Sabha.
