A lawsuit filed in Washington on Tuesday accuses the Trump administration of illegally sharing confidential asylum application information with the Iranian government. The details concern Iranian nationals the administration planned to deport.

The lawsuit claims that sharing this information could endanger pro-democracy protesters, religious minorities, and LGBTQ individuals in Iran. Such sharing is alleged to violate U.S. law and international norms.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, pictured at the State Department on Monday, is one of the defendants named in the court papers. The lawsuit highlights the potential risks to individuals seeking asylum due to their fear of persecution in Iran.
