Trump Administration Shared Confidential Asylum Data with Iran, Suit Says

A federal lawsuit in Washington alleges that the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, shared confidential asylum information on Iranian detainees with the Iranian government, endangering dissidents and vulnerable groups.Court filings say the Department of State began monthly meetings with Iranian officials in March 2025 using the Pakistani embassy and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement provided names, asylum claim details and custody locations for roughly 600 Iranians detained last year, with some deportations to third countries and flights acknowledged by Iran.The complaint asks a court to bar further disclosures, to install an independent monitor and to preserve records, arguing the practice violates federal immigration regulations and places named asylum seekers at immediate risk during the current escalation.
