"The Plaintiffs in this case challenge a regulation issued by the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) in connection with the H-2B visa program on grounds that DOL had no authority to issue the regulation. See Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment of H-2B Aliens in the United States, Final Rule, 77 Fed. Reg. 10,038 (Feb. 21, 2012). The parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment. For the reasons set forth below, the Court finds that Plaintiffs’ motion should be granted and Defendants’ motion should be denied. ...
