Lawsuit: Trump Admin Illegally Shared Iranian Asylum Seeker Data With Iran
A lawsuit alleges that Trump administration immigration agencies shared confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, violating regulations and endangering individuals. Court filings argue this constitutes a coordinated effort to identify and pressure Iranians in U.S. custody to return to Iran, despite ongoing diplomatic hostility and war. The Department of Homeland Security denies these claims, stating that ICE facilitates consular access in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The lawsuit seeks to stop information sharing and appoint an independent monitor to prevent future disclosures.
