Why is DELL not part of the JD VANCE H1B Action agaist Microsoft Adobe and others?

Here is the direct comparison of the layoff and green card (PERM) application data that explains why Microsoft and Adobe were targeted by the government's recent suspension while Dell was excluded:

Microsoft
Layoffs (2025/2026): 6,000 American workers laid off.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Obtained 6,300 new H-1B visas and applied for nearly 3,000 green cards during the same period.
Government Status: Suspended

Adobe
Layoffs (2025/2026): No mass corporate layoff (net headcount actually grew by ~650), but targeted role cuts occurred.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Filed 3,682 PERM applications, 1,000 of which the government claims overlapped with positions of workers who were laid off.
Government Status: Suspended

Dell
Layoffs (2025/2026): ~11,000 overall workers laid off.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Filed 0 new PERM applications in 2025.
Government Status: Not Suspended
Very Large outsource workforce in India

@a1 nailed it exactly...

As the replier 'KV' says - because Dell, unlike MSFT, aren't reducing American headcount in favor of importing foreign workers into America. They are reducing American and European headcount for the benefit of having less staff generally, but also perhaps in favor of hiring cheaper labor in other countries. They are not 'abusing' the workforce reduction in favor of H1Bs or Green Cards in the way MSFT and others are. The fact Dell are doing so alongside an immoral project of attrition makes it all the more egregious.

The answer is in the question. 0 H1B reqs filled. What Dell does is k-ll an American, to give a birth to 10 out there in India.

Not need to nationalize the work. Taxes in other countries are lower...
