05:567/05/2025, Wednesday
According to report, US officials said deportations may start this as early as this week, while program has already stirred controversy and opposition
The Trump administration is preparing to begin deporting migrants to the North African country of Libya, potentially expanding its mass deportation strategy to a country torn by conflict, CBS News reported Tuesday.
Two US officials familiar with the plans told CBS News that deportations could start as early as this week and would likely be carried out by the US military, in an expansion of an already controversial program.
According to the report, it remains unclear which migrants could be subject to removal under the proposed plan or whether they would be taken into custody by Libyan authorities upon arrival.
The US State Department currently warns Americans against traveling to Libya, citing risks including "crime, terrorism, unexploded landmines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict."
