Keeping pressure on Arizona over its immigration policies, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday against a local community college system alleging that it discriminated against non-citizens by making them fill out additional paperwork during the hiring process.
The department filed suit against the Maricopa County Community College District, claiming its investigation revealed the colleges were requiring newly hired non-citizen workers to provide more authorization documents than required by law. The department claimed it counted at least 247 cases in which non-citizens were required to hand in more paperwork than their U.S. citizen counterparts.
