The U.S. Department of Justice is set to drop its case against SpaceX, accused of unfair hiring practices towards asylum seekers and refugees. This decision follows a previous indication from the DOJ that it might withdraw the complaint, which claimed SpaceX discriminated between 2018 and 2022 based on an erroneous interpretation of U.S. export control laws. SpaceX has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that it operates in full compliance with these laws. It emphasizes its policies to avoid unlawful discrimination and challenges the legitimacy of the DOJ’s administrative process. The dismissal will be with prejudice, preventing future re-litigation of the claims.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced plans to withdraw its case against SpaceX, citing SpaceX's strict adherence to export control laws that govern hiring practices.
Despite its previous allegations, the Justice Department concluded that the export control laws did not impose the hiring restrictions it claimed SpaceX had enforced against refugees.
