SpaceX must comply with DOJ subpoena in probe of company's hiring practices, judge says

If SpaceX files no objection by April 12, Wilner's recommendation will be sent to a federal district judge, who will deliver a ruling and deal with all other matters in the case.

The IER, part of the Justice Department's civil rights division, launched a probe in May to determine whether SpaceX "had engaged in an individual violation or pattern or practice" of hiring discrimination based on citizenship, in violation of U.S. law. IER obtained a subpoena in October for a slew of documents from SpaceX, the memo said. The company filed a petition that month to revoke the subpoena, but that request was revoked, and SpaceX was ordered to comply.

In a fiery response last month, SpaceX called the investigation "the very definition of government overreach."
