A Uvalde, Texas-based harvesting firm has settled a federal civil rights claim that it discriminated against two US workers based on their citizenship.

The settlement, announced last week by the Department of Justice, resolves a claim that Olivarez Harvesting denied two brothers crop harvesting positions and instead filled the jobs with temporary visa workers through the Department of Labor’s H-2A program, in violation of the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
