The lawsuit, filed by the Civil Rights Division, claims Cloudera routed U.S. job applications to a nonfunctioning email for at least nine months in 2024 and 2025.

This action is part of a broader initiative targeting employer discrimination against U.S. workers, especially in tech, as the Trump administration intensifies scrutiny of companies hiring foreign workers on temporary visas.
