一份新提交的诉讼指控称,特朗普政府在将伊朗寻求庇护者驱逐出美国期间,向德黑兰方面泄露了有关这些人的敏感信息,使他们面临“抵达伊朗后遭受迫害、酷刑甚至死亡”的风险。
根据周二在华盛顿特区美国地区法院提交的诉讼文件,美国境内的许多伊朗寻求庇护者都是民主抗议者、宗教少数群体成员或LGBTQ群体成员——这些人如果被迫返回伊朗,将面临严重的生命安全威胁。
该诉讼将美国国务卿马可·卢比奥、国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林、移民海关执法局代理局长戴维·文特雷拉及其各自的机构列为被告。
该诉讼由公民监督组织代表伊朗裔美国人法律辩护基金提起。
“有关移民海关执法局向伊朗政府分享庇护申请记录的指控是虚假的,”国土安全部发言人在发给CNN的电子邮件中表示。

美国国务院未就该诉讼置评。
特朗普政府发布的最新人权报告称,伊朗存在“严重的人权问题”。
作为其严厉驱逐政策的一部分,特朗普政府至少执行了三次遣返航班,将数十名伊朗人从美国驱逐出境,其中最近一次是在今年1月,当时伊朗国内正在开展针对反政府抗议活动的致命镇压行动。诉讼声称美国政府正与伊朗政府合作“在未来几周内开展另一批大规模遣返伊朗人的航班”。
诉讼文件指出,“在执行遣返任务时,美国政府可能会与接收国政府官员协调后勤事宜,但联邦法规禁止泄露或推断被遣返者曾在美国申请庇护的信息”,因为此类信息共享“可能会使个人在被遣返后遭受迫害,或危及仍居住在原籍国的申请人的家庭成员”。

诉讼指控称,在美伊两国2025年3月达成的一项罕见协议框架下,特朗普政府已向伊朗政府提供了“数百名寻求庇护的伊朗被拘留者”的详细信息,以将他们驱逐出境。美伊两国目前并未建立外交关系。
诉讼称,这些信息通过移民海关执法局与伊朗政府官员的月度会议以及“定期”邮寄方式进行了共享。该诉讼还指控移民海关执法局与伊朗政府官员安排了与被拘留的数十名伊朗人的面对面会谈,且许多此类会谈未征得被拘留者的同意。
“据与伊朗利益 section官员会面的伊朗被拘留者称,该官员了解他们的移民案件细节,包括庇护申请的具体情况,”诉讼文件写道。

原告方请求法院下令停止泄露敏感信息,宣布此类政策“非法”,确认并通知那些信息被共享给伊朗政府的寻求庇护者,并在完成相关工作前暂停所有遣返行动。
国土安全部发言人表示,移民海关执法局“致力于确保非法外籍人士有权与其领事代表沟通”,并根据适用法律、法规和机构政策,为他们“提供联系其领事馆的机会,并协助领事探访被拘留者”。
“移民海关执法局会与每个国家接触并努力为被拘留者获取旅行证件,”该发言人说道,并补充称他们“将继续使用所有合法手段驱逐非法外籍人士”。

A newly filed lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration shared confidential information with Tehran about Iranian asylum seekers as it worked to deport them from the United States, putting them at risk of “persecution, torture, and death following their arrival in Iran.”
According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the US District Court of the District of Columbia, many Iranian asylum seekers in the US are pro-democracy protestors, members of religious minorities, or members of the LGBTQ community – people who would face grave risks if they were forced to return to Iran.
The lawsuit names Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement David Venturella, and their respective agencies as defendants.
It was filed by Public Citizen on behalf of the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund.
“These allegations that ICE shared asylum application records with the Iranian government are FALSE,” a DHS spokesperson said in an email to CNN.

The State Department had no comment on the lawsuit.
The State Department’s latest human rights report, issued under the Trump administration, said there are “significant human rights issues” in Iran.
As part of its severe deportation agenda, the Trump administration has carried out at least three deportation flights to remove dozens of Iranians from the US, including one as recently as January when deadly crackdowns against anti-government protests were sweeping Iran. The lawsuit claims the US is working with the Iranian Government “on another mass deportation flight to Iran in the coming weeks.”
The lawsuit notes that “in carrying out removals, the United States government may coordinate logistics with government officials of the receiving country, but federal regulations prohibit sharing of information that would reveal or infer that the individual to be removed had applied for asylum in the United States,” because sharing such information “could subject the individual to persecution upon repatriation or endanger the applicant’s family members who may still be residing in the country of origin.”

It alleges that the administration has provided details “on hundreds of Iranian detainees seeking asylum” to the Iranian government as it sought to deport them under a rare agreement between Washington and Tehran, which do not have diplomatic relations. That agreement was reached in March 2025, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that the details were shared both during monthly meetings between ICE and Iranian Government officials and “periodically” by mail. It also alleges that ICE has coordinated in-person meetings with Iranian government officials and dozens of Iranians in ICE custody, and that many of these meetings were held without the consent of the detainees.
“According to Iranian detainees who met with an Iranian Interest Section official, the official had knowledge of their immigration cases, including the details of their asylum applications,” the lawsuit says.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare the stop the sharing of the confidential information, declare the policy of doing so to be “unlawful,” to identify and notify asylum seekers whose information was shared with the Iranian government and stop any deportations until such work is done.
The DHS spokesperson said ICE is “committed to ensuring that illegal aliens are informed of their right to communicate with their consular representatives” and provides them “the opportunity to contact their consular post and facilitates consular access to detained individuals, in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and agency policy.”
“ICE meets and works to get travel documents for detainees with every country,” the spokesperson said, noting they “will continue to use all lawful options to deport illegal aliens.”
