Welcome to Labor of Law. The Trump administration's hardline immigration stance has left employers scrambling to keep up with the additional scrutiny and changing rules when it comes to hiring foreign workers. Plus: I was in court in Washington when a judge scolded DOJ and the EEOC over their delay in reinstating the Obama-era expanded EEO-1 pay-data rule.

The Trump administration's maneuvering on the immigration front is keeping firms busy.
