United States Eleventh Circuit

Subchapter II of the ADA, section 12203, establishes individual liability for a violation of its prohibitions, where the "act or practice" opposed is one made unlawful by Subchapter II. Releasing personal information to the media, gained after a public entity regulated by Subchapter II has retained a private investigator to conduct a comprehensive background check, is adverse action for the purpose of establishing a prima facie case of retaliation.
