| Summary: | This statement discusses the activities of the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, within the Department of Justice. The Counsel was created as part of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which prohibits certain forms of discriminatory employment conduct. The Counsel receives charges of discrimination filed by private parties or Immigration and Naturalization Service Officers, and determines whether the charges warrant filing an administrative complaint. This report describes the types of cases that come under the jurisdiction of the Special Counsel in the Department of Justice. The Act applies to regular, repeated, and intentional activities of discrimination, and was added to the Immigration Act because of legislators' fears that employers would use the other provisions of the Act to discriminate against anyone "foreign-looking."
