Trump's controversial plan: Deporting immigrants to Libya

• The Trump administration plans to deport immigrants to Libya.
• The operation may start as early as Wednesday.
• Human rights organisations warn of the dangers in Libya.

The Trump administration intends to transport illegal immigrants to Libya using an American military aircraft. This information was reported by the "New York Times", indicating that the operation may begin as early as Wednesday. This decision is viewed as an escalation of the Trump administration's deportation policy.

The choice of Libya as a deportation destination raises significant concerns. The country is embroiled in conflict, and the social situation is unstable. Human rights organisations are warning that detention centres for migrants in Libya are "horrifying" and "deplorable." The US State Department advises against travel to Libya due to numerous threats.

The United States has formal relations only with the Tripoli government. But Mr. Haftar’s son, Saddam, was in Washington last week, and met with several Trump administration officials. Mr. Trump had friendly dealings in his first term with Mr. Haftar, who controls most of Libya’s lucrative oil fields, notes "The New York Times."

The plans to deport individuals to Libya represent yet another controversial move by the Trump administration. Previously, Venezuelans were deported to El Salvador, and hundreds of migrants were sent to Panama and Costa Rica. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that more countries willing to accept and detain the deported will be identified.

The actions of the Trump administration are perceived as a signal to deter potential illegal immigrants. The prospect of harsh conditions after deportation is intended to discourage attempts to illegally cross U.S. borders.
