US accused of sharing Iranian asylum seeker data with Iran
Imagine fleeing a regime, asking the land of the free for help, and then having your application forwarded to the exact government you just ran away from. Yeah, that’s reportedly happening.
A new lawsuit claims the Trump administration has been hand-delivering sensitive details of Iranian asylum seekers straight to the regime in Tehran.
The whole point of seeking asylum is that your home country wants to jail or kill you. So when people flee to the US, they fill out forms explaining exactly why they ran away and who they are. It's supposed to be highly confidential.
According to the lawsuit, federal officials decided the best move was to share these highly confidential documents directly with the Iranian government. It is basically a pre-written target list for a regime not exactly known for its gentle HR department. They reportedly handed over names, dates, and escape stories, leaving families back in Iran in immediate danger.
Bureaucratic incompetence is one thing, but doing the secret police's homework for them is a whole new level of service.
