DOJ hands off two asphalt merger antitrust probes to state AGs after divestiture deals

The Justice Department's Antitrust Division closed two merger investigations in local asphalt markets by referring them to state attorneys general, who then secured divestiture agreements. The statement signals how the division is handing localized competition concerns to states while federal resources focus elsewhere.

  • DOJ issued Second Requests to Colas and Suit-Kote parties in October 2025 before referring the matter to New York and Pennsylvania.
  • New York and Pennsylvania settlement requires divestiture of four facilities, recorded as Assurance No. 26-065 and in Pennsylvania v. Colas Inc., No. 3:26-cv-1979 (W.D. Pa. filed Oct. 13, 2026).
  • CRH's proposed acquisition of Arcosa was valued at approximately $8.5 billion when announced in June 2026.
  • DOJ referred the CRH/Arcosa matter to the New Jersey Attorney General without issuing a Second Request, instead monitoring progress toward resolution.
  • The New Jersey divestiture agreement was filed as Davenport v. CRH plc, No. 3:26-cv-13625 (D.N.J. filed Oct. 20, 2026).

Somerset Lifesciences to pay $4M over mislabeled generic eyedrop Medicare claims

A DOJ Civil Division settlement resolving allegations that a generic drug maker caused Medicare Part D to pay for a drug no longer eligible for coverage. Relevant to compliance and legal teams at pharmaceutical manufacturers responsible for label changes tied to brand-drug switching events, and to healthcare payors monitoring FCA-adjacent enforcement trends.

  • Somerset Lifesciences Inc. agreed to pay $4 million to resolve the allegations.
  • The FDA approved OTC sale of the brand-name equivalent, Pataday, in February 2020.
  • Generic drug labels must mirror their brand-name counterpart's label, meaning Somerset was required to switch Olopatadine from Rx-only to OTC at that time.
  • Somerset continued to label and sell Olopatadine as prescription-only, causing Medicare to pay claims for a drug no longer eligible for coverage.
  • The matter is handled by Fraud Section Trial Attorney Vince Vaccarella, and the settlement resolves allegations only, with no determination of liability except for admissions in the agreement.

Instacart to pay $5 million over hiring practices that favored visa holders

This item covers a joint DOJ Civil Rights Division and EEOC settlement with Instacart resolving citizenship-status and national-origin discrimination claims tied to the company's PERM visa sponsorship recruitment. It matters to employers running PERM processes, since the case turns on a narrow but common recruitment practice that regulators treated as discriminatory.

  • Instacart will establish a settlement fund of up to $4,000,000 for applicants and deterred applicants affected from December 2023 to February 2026.
  • Instacart will pay $1,000,000 in civil penalties to the United States, separate from the compensation fund.
  • Investigators found Instacart required physical mailing of applications for PERM-advertised positions, departing from its standard electronic application process.
  • Instacart must post PERM positions on its public career website, accept electronic applications, train staff and submit to monitoring and reporting requirements.
  • This is the fifteenth settlement under the Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative and EEOC's fourth public settlement under Project Firewall since 2025.

Cloudera barred from PERM program two years, pays $1.4m back pay over US-worker bias

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the Department of Labor announced a coordinated resolution with Cloudera Inc. over alleged discrimination against qualified US workers during PERM recruitment.

  • Cloudera will pay $600,000 in civil penalties and resolves a DOJ lawsuit filed in April alleging INA violations across seven PERM positions.
