Astra Manufacturing will be liable without regard to Omar's actual work status if the company acquired information on Omar's status through a retaliatory investigation. Undocumented workers are particularly vulnerable to threats to report them to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). In every case in which an employer asserts that a worker is undocumented and the employer appears to have acquired that information after the worker complained of discrimination, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will determine whether the information was acquired through a retaliatory investigation. If the investigation is retaliatory, an employer will be liable for equitable relief as well as monetary damages without regard to the worker's actual work status.
