Hold onto your timelines, folks. The Trump administration is reportedly eyeing a controversial plan to send undocumented migrants to Libya, even as the U.S. State Department warns against travel to the conflict-ridden country. Flights could start as early as May 7, sparking outrage from human rights advocates.
With Libya labeled a Level 4 ‘Do Not Travel’ zone due to terrorism and civil unrest (think 🇱🇾 ‘Mad Max vibes’), the move raises ethical and legal questions. Critics say it’s a risky pivot to fulfill campaign promises on mass deportations.
⚖️ Legal experts warn the plan could breach international asylum laws. Meanwhile, the administration hasn’t clarified how migrants' safety would be ensured. This comes amid rising U.S. border tensions, with Texas already a hotspot for immigration debates. 📈🌎
