Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio asked Deputy Attorney General Kristen Clarke if the administration is suing SpaceX because it is hiring “too many Americans” during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice presented a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, in August for allegedly discriminating against refugees and asylum seekers by not including them in the hiring process, which would violate immigration regulations. Jordan he asked Clarke whether the lawsuit had anything to do with Musk's purchase of Twitter and then raised the question that maybe SpaceX was just “hiring too many Americans.”
“I just want to cut to the chase,” Jordan said. “You are suing SpaceX because they hired too many Americans. There are too many citizens and not enough refugees or people who have been granted asylum. This investigation started three years ago, I know the facts, it started three years ago and yet you file the lawsuit after Mr. Musk buys Twitter, now X, right?
Jordan went on to say that the department's focus is SpaceX and pro-life groups but lack of knowledge of the Missouri v. Biden case made it hard to believe Clarke's earlier claims that the DOJ is not political.
“You're trying to tell us today that the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is not political,” Jordan said. “Frankly, I find it almost laughable that you would make that argument because anyone with common sense and objectivity can see that you are definitely political.”
