The Department of Justice is seeking back pay from SpaceX, which allegedly excluded refugees and asylum seekers in the hiring process.
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against SpaceX, alleging the company owned by Elon Musk discriminated against refugees and asylum seekers.
The Immigration and Nationality Act says"it is an unfair immigration-related employment practice for a person or other entity to discriminate against any individual with respect to the hiring, or recruitment or referral for a fee, of the individual for employment or the discharging of the individual from employment" based on their citizenship status. Those in the U.S. illegally are excluded from this workforce protection.
“Our investigation found that SpaceX failed to fairly consider or hire asylees and refugees because of their citizenship status and imposed what amounted to a ban on their hire regardless of their qualification, in violation of federal law,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
