Mohammed Boujaer, a former employee of a major aerospace and defense company, has filed a lawsuit alleging racial, national origin, and religious discrimination. The complaint was filed on December 1, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Lockheed Martin Corporation. Boujaer claims that he faced discriminatory treatment during his employment at the company’s Fort Worth facility.
According to the lawsuit, Mohammed Boujaer worked as a Deployment Technician under the supervision of Lockheed Martin from February 28, 2022, until his termination on March 21, 2024. Despite being employed by Acara Solutions Inc., Boujaer alleges that Lockheed Martin controlled his work environment and had the authority to terminate his employment. Throughout his tenure, Boujaer claims he performed his duties diligently but was denied equal access to training and advancement opportunities due to his African descent and Muslim faith. He also alleges that employees outside his protected classes received preferential treatment and were not disciplined for workplace misconduct.
Boujaer’s complaint highlights several instances where he was treated less favorably than other employees who were not part of his protected class. He states that individuals with personal connections to supervisors received opportunities he was denied despite their lack of IT experience. Furthermore, he asserts that when he sought sponsorship for a security clearance—a crucial step for long-term employment—his supervisor refused to assist him. Ultimately, Boujaer was terminated without prior warning or documented performance issues under the pretext of “performance” concerns.
The lawsuit accuses Lockheed Martin of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by engaging in unlawful discrimination based on national origin, race, and religion. Additionally, it claims violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 concerning racial discrimination in contractual relationships. Boujaer seeks compensatory damages for lost wages and benefits, emotional distress, punitive damages where applicable, attorney’s fees, and other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
Representing Mohammed Boujaer is attorney Debra Edmondson from The Edmondson Law Firm in Southlake, Texas. The case is presided over by Judge Reed O’Connor under Case ID: 4:25-cv-01347-O.
