According to DOJ, Arthur Grand violated the Immigration and Nationality Act, which prohibits unlawful discrimination based on citizenship and national origin in hiring, as well as Executive Order 11246, which prohibits federal contractors from identity-based discrimination, including race, color and national origin.
The Civil Rights Division’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section started its investigation last year, following media buzz around Arthur Grand’s racist job description. The company at the time said the job post was not authorized, according to reporting from The Dallas Morning News.
In a press release, the DOJ emphasized that Arthur Grand’s actions harmed workers who have the right to work in the U.S. by “unlawfully deterring them.”
