> They filed H1Bs for 2025 and 2026, but not after or during the layoffs from last week

These kinds of layoffs don't just happen on a whim, certainly aren't supposed to. Oracle's business conditions really didn't change that much over the past year.

It's perfectly reasonable to retroactively question a company's choice to hire immigrant workers relatively shortly before layoffs.
