Cloudera is accused of creating a fake email address for U.S. applicants, effectively discarding their resumes while claiming no qualified American workers were available for certain positions. This alleged scheme, which reportedly occurred between 2024 and 2025, is said to violate the Immigration and Nationality Act by discriminating against U.S. citizens. AI
