The Trump administration has launched a major investigation into alleged H-1B and PERM visa fraud, with IT services company Cognizant among the firms expected to face scrutiny. US Labour Department Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito said investigators have already issued dozens of subpoenas as part of what he described as the administration's most aggressive crackdown on foreign labour fraud. The probe will examine allegations of visa abuse, labour trafficking and the displacement of American workers. Officials said whistleblower information has helped identify potential cases, while stressing that the investigation will follow all available leads.
