Doj first sued Space In 2023, during the presidency of Joe Biden, saying that the company posted jobs demanding the applicants to be US citizens or permanent residents, despite the fact that there were no legal bars that did not play a role.
Prosecutors allegedly SpaceX “actively prevented Assisil and refugees seeking opportunities in the company.”
Music refuted these allegations by writing in a social media report at the time: “Spacex has repeatedly said that hiring those who were not a permanent resident of the United States violates the international arms trade law that would be a criminal offense.”
He added: “We couldn’t even hire Canada’s citizens, despite the fact that Canada was part of the Nadezhda! This is another case of armed weapons for political purposes.”
In the non -alternative petition filed with the Federal Court in Texas on Thursday night, the Ministry of Justice asked to stop the case “with the purpose of the permission of the civil rights department of the Ministry of Justice to submit a message about the dismissal of the administrative process.”

This week, Sean Dafa, the secretary of the transport, confirmed that the Doge EMSARIES was in force in the Federal Aviation Administration, an agency proposed by SpaceX fines. Last month, Dafa told the Senate hearing that when he confirmed, he would consider the proposed FAA fine of $ 633,000 on SpaceX, violating the license launch for two 2023 missions.
This week, the Texan environmental group abandoned a separate case against SpaceX about alleged water pollution to launch near Bransville.
