"Yesterday, the Justice Department announced it entered into a settlement agreement with Diversified Maintenance Systems, LLC, a provider of janitorial and facilities maintenance services based in Tampa, Florida. The Florida employer allegedly retaliated against one of its employees based on a final non-confirmation result generated from its use of E-Verify. This case marks a departure from the standard conduct OSC typically investigates; where investigations of immigration-related discrimination usually involve conduct related to the I-9 Form.
