Let's look at this through another lens.
More than 10000 people had to return to their country of origin on very short notice, because of decisions they had no control over. They likely lost money having to pay for travel costs, break leases and contracts, and will be without income. That is sad.
How do I get to that number? First, lets trust the 90% number in the headline. Because the top 30 H-1B employers laid of 85,000 visa holders in 2022 and 2023. So, it is not a stretch to say that there would be at least 10,000 people overall.
