On September 19, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a False Claims Act (FCA) settlement with a New Jersey shipyard that allegedly hired subcontractors employing undocumented workers. The recent settlement highlights an ongoing shift in the federal government’s strategy to enforce immigration laws aimed at businesses with federal contracts. It also underscores the Trump administration’s stated focus on enforcing immigration laws through various legal avenues, including criminal, civil, and administrative investigations and enforcement actions against employers.
