Lawsuit Claims Trump Administration Shared Asylum Seeker Data with Iran

A lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint targets the Trump administration’s immigration policies. It alleges that officials gave Iranian authorities data on asylum seekers. The suit says the information let Iran “select” which refugees would be expelled. The plaintiffs claim the practice violated U.S. law and refugee protections. The case seeks to halt the alleged data sharing and obtain relief for affected individuals. If successful, the lawsuit could reshape how the U.S. handles asylum‑seeker information. The filing adds to ongoing scrutiny of the administration’s immigration actions.
