Meta sued for allegedly firing manager who refused to sign an ‘inaccurate’ immigration letter

Meta Platforms is facing a New Jersey federal lawsuit alleging it fired a manager after he refused to sign an immigration support letter he believed contained inaccurate and unsupported claims. The complaint says the proposed EB-2 National Interest Waiver letter overstated a product designer’s role, including claims tied to $638 million in incremental advertising revenue and AI tool creation. The manager allegedly revised the letter to only endorse statements he believed were truthful, then was later terminated without documented performance issues. The case raises reputational and legal risk for Meta, adding to broader scrutiny around its employment practices and immigration-support policies. While the lawsuit does not directly impact operations or fundamentals, it contributes to headline risk and may increase attention on governance, HR controls, and discrimination allegations.
