Trump administration plans to deport migrants to Libya
May 7, 2025 · Libya, Libya
The Trump administration is planning to deport undocumented migrants to Libya, a country experiencing armed conflict. Libyan officials denied being in talks with the U.S. about the plan. A federal judge blocked any deportations to Libya or Saudi Arabia without due process, ruling that removals without prior notice would violate existing court orders.
