The DOJ has settled its lawsuit against Farmland Foods for nearly $300,000, the highest civil penalty paid since the enactment of the INA’s anti-discrimination provision in 1986. Farmland demanded additional work eligibility documents from its non-U.S. citizen employees. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) prohibits employers from placing different or additional burden on employees based on their citizenship or national origin.
