Lawsuit accuses Trump administration of sharing Iranian asylum seeker data

A lawsuit was filed against the Trump administration, alleging that its immigration agencies shared confidential data about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, which violates immigration rules and puts Iranians at risk. The legal action claims there was a coordinated effort between the U.S. and Iranian governments to locate Iranians in U.S. custody and encourage their return to Iran. This is described as a significant shift from the longstanding diplomatic tensions between the two nations. Public records show approximately 600 Iranians were detained by immigration authorities last year.
