DOJ Sues Cloudera for Alleged Discrimination Against U.S. Workers in Hiring

The U.S. Justice Department has sued tech company Cloudera, alleging it discriminated against American workers by favoring temporary visa holders for high-paying technology jobs. The lawsuit claims Cloudera created a separate hiring process that discouraged U.S. applicants, including using an email address that rejected external applications. The case, filed under the Immigration and Nationality Act, was announced by the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, with officials emphasizing enforcement against such employment discrimination.
