The court papers allege that the Trump administration disclosed sensitive details of asylum applications to Iran’s government. This move is said to potentially endanger the lives of pro-democracy protesters, religious minorities, and LGBTQ individuals in Iran.
On Tuesday, a lawsuit was filed in Washington accusing the administration of violating U.S. law by sharing this confidential information. The allegations center on the concern that deported Iranians, whose details were reportedly shared, could face significant risks upon their return.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, seen at the State Department on Monday, is named among the defendants in the lawsuit.
