Trump administration plans to deport migrants to Libya

The Trump administration is planning to deport migrants without legal status to Libya, a country long plagued by armed conflict, a U.S. official has confirmed to NPR.

However Libyan officials — for both the factions controlling seperate swarths of the divided country — denied they were in talks with the U.S. according to Reuters.

The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the plans, but the news comes days after reports that Trump was eyeing the North African nation — as well as other African countries including Benin, Angola and Eswatini — as places to send deportees.
