What Happened
A lawsuit has been filed accusing U.S. immigration agencies of illegally sharing confidential information on Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government. The legal action alleges that agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), provided details about individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. to Iran.
One of the lawsuits specifically claims that the Trump administration shared this confidential information. The core of the allegation is that this data sharing puts the asylum seekers at risk of persecution in their home country.
