Lawsuit says US illegally shared confidential information on Iranian asylum seekers with Iran
A lawsuit alleges the Trump administration's immigration agencies shared confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with Iran, violating regulations and endangering individuals. The complaint claims the U.S. and Iranian governments coordinated to identify detained Iranians and pressure them to return, including sharing asylum application details. Over 600 Iranians were detained in immigration custody last year, and some were deported to countries like the Central African Republic.
