总部位于圣克拉拉的一家软件企业同意支付200万美元的赔偿金，并同意在未来两年内被排除在为国际工作者提供永久居留资格的相关计划之外。这一协议是该公司与特朗普政府协商后达成的。美国司法部和劳工部于周五公布了这一和解协议，该协议终结了针对Cloudera公司涉嫌违反永久劳工认证（PERM计划）规定的行政调查。
A software enterprise headquartered in Santa Clara consented to remit $2 million in compensation and accept a two-year exclusion from a program facilitating permanent residency acquisition for international workers, pursuant to an agreement negotiated with the Trump administration. The settlement, disclosed on Friday by the Departments of Justice and Labor, concludes an administrative proceeding concerning purported infractions of the permanent labor certification, commonly referred to as the PERM program, attributed to Cloudera Inc.Justice Department calls out Cloudera Inc's discriminatory practices against domestic workersThe Department of Justice asserted in April that the organization engaged in discriminatory practices against domestic workers throughout its recruitment procedures, thereby violating provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
美国司法部指出Cloudera公司对美国本土员工的歧视行为早在今年4月，司法部就指控Cloudera公司在招聘过程中存在歧视行为，违反了《移民与国籍法》的相关规定。随后，劳工部采取了前所未有的执法措施，暂停了Cloudera公司参与PERM计划的资格。在同一周内，劳工部还暂停了微软公司（Microsoft Corporation）、Adobe公司（Adobe Incorporated）以及其他科技公司的PERM申请处理流程，理由同样是这些公司涉嫌违规（不过具体违规内容并未公开）。
The Department of Labor then implemented a suspension of Cloudera's participation in the PERM program through an unprecedented enforcement measure. In the preceding week, the agency also halted PERM processing activities for Microsoft Corporation, Adobe Incorporated, and additional technology companies in response to purported, though unspecified, infractions.
这些最近的处罚措施为法律界和相关组织提供了关于特朗普政府执法优先事项的有限信息。此前，司法部对Meta Platforms公司（Meta Platforms Incorporated）、苹果公司（Apple Incorporated）和OpenAI等企业的调查结果，以及这些企业达成的和解协议，已成为判断企业未来合规义务的重要参考依据。Cloudera公司的和解协议内容根据和解协议，Cloudera公司同意向一个专门为符合条件的美国本土员工设立的赔偿基金捐款140万美元，并支付60万美元的罚款。
The recent suspensions provided legal practitioners and organizations with minimal insight into emerging enforcement priorities under the Trump administration. Preceding Department of Justice investigations and substantial settlement arrangements with organizations including Meta Platforms Incorporated, Apple Incorporated, and OpenAI continue to represent the most definitive indicators of prospective compliance obligations. Cloudera's settlement agreementAs a component of the settlement agreement, Cloudera consented to contribute $1.4 million to a compensation fund designated for eligible American workers who were not evaluated for available employment positions, along with $600,000 in civil penalties.
此外，该公司将接受强化监管及补充报告义务，以降低未来违规风险。政府表示，该协议的结构将为后续执法程序确立先例。
Furthermore, the company shall be subject to intensified oversight and supplementary reporting obligations to mitigate the risk of future infractions. The administration said that the structure of this agreement will establish a precedent for subsequent enforcement proceedings.
