Original Note:
The Department of Justice alleges that SpaceX discriminated against "asylees" (i.e. those who have been granted asylum), not "asylum seekers" (i.e. those who are seeking asylum). SpaceX is prohibited from hiring asylum seekers due to ITAR regulations. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-spacex-discriminating-against-asylees-and-refugees-hiring https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324b
