The Justice Department (DOJ) intends to dismiss a lawsuit against SpaceX that accused the company of discriminating against refugees and asylees during hiring between 2018 to 2022. This lawsuit alleged that SpaceX improperly indicated in job postings that only U.S. citizens could apply, which led to discouraged interest from potential candidates. Following this, SpaceX sought to block the case, resulting in a pause as both parties prepared for court. The DOJ has requested a federal judge to lift this pause for 30 days to file its dismissal notice, with plans to pivot to defend SpaceX's own lawsuits against the government thereafter.
The Justice Department states its intention to dismiss the lawsuit against SpaceX, which alleged long-term discrimination against refugees and asylees in hiring practices.
The lawsuit claimed that SpaceX illegally discouraged asylees and refugees from applying by incorrectly stating that only U.S. citizens were eligible for employment.
