The\u2062 DOJ claims that SpaceX has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-doj-puts-elon-musk-in-crosshairs-again-after-coming-for-twitter-earlier-this-year\/\" title=\"Biden's DOJ targets Elon Musk once more, following previous action against Twitter.\">systematically \u200bexcluded individuals seeking asylum<\/a> \u2064and refugees throughout the hiring process, \u2063in violation of immigration regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit alleges that from\u200c September 2018 to May 2022, \u200dSpaceX\u200b discriminated against asylees\u200b and refugees at\u2064 every stage of the hiring process, including\u2063 recruiting, screening, and selection. The DOJ argues that due to their citizenship status, these individuals had \u200cvirtually no \u2063chance of\u200d being\u2063 fairly considered or\u2064 hired by SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to\u2062 SpaceX&#8217;s claim that they could not hire asylees and\u2064 refugees because \u200dof the requirement for employees to have at least\u200b a green card, the lawsuit states that \u200cthe company discouraged these individuals from applying\u200c by falsely\u2063 stating that only U.S. citizens \u2064and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-blasted-trump-admin-for-using-covid-19-as-excuse-to-close-the-border-now-the-biden-administration-is-doing-the-same-thing\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Blasted Trump Admin For Using COVID-19 As Excuse To Close The Border.
