DOJ Sues SpaceX, Alleging Discriminatory Hiring Practices against Refugees

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit on Thursday against SpaceX, a rocketry company founded by Elon Musk, alleging that the firm discriminated against asylum seekers and migrants.

From “at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status, in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA),” a departmental news release reads.
