Libya Rejects U.S. Migrant Deportation Plans

Libya's Government of National Unity has expressed strong disapproval of potential plans by the United States to deport migrants to its territory without prior agreement or communication. This stance was made clear in a statement released on Wednesday, underscoring Libya's commitment to maintaining control over its borders and immigration policies.

Reports surfaced indicating that U.S. officials are considering using Libya as a destination for deported migrants. However, Libyan authorities emphasized that no coordination efforts have been made with the United States regarding migrant reception.

The Libyan government's position arrives in the wake of suggestions from the Trump administration about altering deportation destinations, with Libya cited as a possible location. The lack of coordination and consent from Libya highlights ongoing challenges in bilateral relations concerning immigration management.
