  • This is Ira Glass.

  • On This American Life, we tell stories about when things change.

  • Like for this guy, David, his entire life took a sharp, unexpected, and very unpleasant turn.

  • And it did take me a while to realize that it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.

  • That's right, because the monkey pressed the button.

  • Surprising stories every week wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.

  • A group of 20 states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's plan to dramatically hike visa fees for foreign workers.

  • NPR's Matt Bloom reports on this latest legal challenge against the policy.

  • The new lawsuit was filed by a group of state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta.

  • The suit, filed in federal court in Boston,

  • seeks to block President Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas.

  • Trump announced the policy this fall, raising the fee from just a few thousand dollars per worker.

  • In their suit, the Attorney's General argued that the price hike violates federal law.

  • The new suit is at least the third to challenge the policy,

  • which Trump says is meant to protect American workers.

  • Similar challenges from the U.S.

  • Chamber of Commerce and U.S.

  • unions and employers are also pending.
