Lawsuit Alleges Boston Consulting Group Used Chicago Program for Foreign Worker…
What happened
A lawsuit, U.S. Tech Workers vs Boston Consulting Group, alleges that Boston Consulting Group participated in a Chicago program designed to recruit and hire foreign workers through the H-1B visa program instead of American workers. The lawsuit claims the program violated citizenship status protections and discouraged Americans from applying for jobs. Thirteen members of Congress, including Republicans from Arizona and Texas, have called on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged visa abuse in Chicago and review a ruling that dismissed the lawsuit.

Why it matters
The allegations center on the use of the H-1B visa program in a specific Chicago recruitment initiative. The congressional calls for investigation relate to the Trump administration's directives aimed at cracking down on visa abuse. The lawsuit challenges the administrative judge's decision to dismiss the discrimination claims.
