Apple to pay up to $25 million in DOJ discrimination settlement with U.S. citizens and green card holders for 2018 and 2019

Apple has agreed to pay up to $25 million to settle claims made by the U.S. Department of Justice that the company illegally favored immigrant workers over U.S. citizens and green card holders for certain jobs during 2018 and 2019. The settlement amount varies in different tweets, with one tweet mentioning a $1.8 million settlement for security claims related to iTunes or App Store gift cards. The DOJ alleged discriminatory hiring practices based on citizenship, and Apple admitted to discriminating against U.S. citizens through the PERM program. The settlement resolves a landmark U.S. employment discrimination case against Apple.
