- Feds face suit over outing asylum seekers to Iran
An Iranian American advocacy group sued the Trump administration, alleging it endangered Iranian asylum seekers by sharing confidential information with the Iranian regime, including details about their asylum applications and participation in pro-democracy protests. The lawsuit challenges the policy as a violation of confidentiality rights under the UN Convention Against Torture, with the Department of Homeland Security denying the claims and asserting compliance with consular protocols.
