Controversial Libya Deportation Plans Halted by Court Order

A U.S. judge has halted any attempt by the Trump administration to deport migrants to Libya, citing a previous court order. This decision comes after reports emerged suggesting plans to deport migrants to Libya despite criticism over its severe detention practices.

Several U.S. officials hinted that deportation flights to Libya could commence imminently, although such plans faced resistance. President Trump claimed ignorance regarding the deportation plans, and key U.S. departments remained silent on press inquiries.

Libya's government and Khalifa Haftar's forces have opposed these deportations, while human rights lawyers are actively seeking legal protections for affected migrants. As debates continue, the legality and ethics of deporting migrants to Libya remain contentious issues.
