The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against SpaceX, alleging that the company discriminated against refugees and asylum recipients in its hiring practices. The DOJ claims that SpaceX falsely claimed that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. The investigation found that SpaceX actively discouraged asylees and refugees from seeking employment and hired only one asylee out of over 10,000 hires. The lawsuit seeks fair consideration, back pay, civil penalties, and policy changes from the company. SpaceX had previously been accused of stonewalling the DOJ's investigation.
