> Those companies are breaking the law.

If the position requires a security clearance, they are not breaking the law. Language like this is standard on defense contractor postings that require clearances (this from Lockeed):

SpaceX was prosecuted for excluding refugees and asylees from export-controlled positions, not cleared positions.
