An administrative law judge has ruled that Facebook must face allegations that it discriminated against U.S. workers based on their citizenship by reserving thousands of jobs for temporary visa holders, Department of Justice (DOJ) documents show.

On June 8, the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review announced that the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) published a decision (pdf) by Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Andrea R. Carroll-Tipton that denied Facebook’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit accusing the social media giant of discriminatory hiring practices.
