The Super Bowl feat punctuates Bad Bunny's meteoric rise to global stardom since his 2016 debut.

The Puerto Rican singer's latest album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," earned him ahistoric Grammy Awardwin for album of the year in February, becoming the first Spanish-language album to take the coveted prize.

Additionally, the album's title trackrecently hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Bad Bunny his first solo No. 1 on the all-genre chart. The song also became the first predominantly Spanish-language song by a solo act to top the Hot 100 in the chart's nearly 70-year history.

Florida public universities temporarily halt hiring foreigners on H1-B visas

By Jasper Ward

March 3 (Reuters) - Florida's public universities will temporarily halt hiring foreign faculty members using the H-1B ‌visa program, which allows employers to recruit highly skilled ‌professionals in specialized occupations.

The move comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis directed schools ​last October to crack down on what he described as "visa abuse" in higher education.

The Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the state's public universities, voted for a temporary ban that will stay ‌in effect until January ⁠5, 2027, according to the regulation posted on the board's website.

The move will only affect new ⁠employees at the 12 universities in the State University System of Florida.

Last year, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a one-time $100,000 fee for ​new H-1B ​visa applicants amid his wider ​crackdown on immigration in ‌the United States.

The office of DeSantis and the board of governors were not immediately available for contact.

The H-1B visa program allows foreign professionals in specialized occupations - primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - to work in the U.S. It offers 65,000 visas ‌annually, with another 20,000 visas for ​workers with advanced degrees, approved for ​three to six years.

More ​than 600 beneficiaries were approved for H-1B visas ‌by the 12 Florida schools last ​year, according ​to data on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' website.

Last October, DeSantis said U.S. universities "were importing foreign workers on ​H-1B visas instead of ‌hiring Americans who are qualified and available to do ​the job".
