Judge Blocks US Deportation Flights to Libya, Saudi Arabia

News summary

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's plans to deport migrants from countries including Vietnam, Laos, and the Philippines to Libya or Saudi Arabia without giving them advance written notice or a chance to contest the deportation, as required by court orders. The administration had reportedly prepared to use US military flights to transfer migrants from San Antonio to Libya, despite ongoing conflict and abuse reports. Both of Libya's main governments have publicly denied any agreement to accept deportees and raised sovereignty concerns. Human rights groups and the US State Department have warned of severe dangers facing migrants in Libyan detention centers. The Trump administration's broader deportation strategy has faced criticism for sending migrants to countries where they may not be citizens and where consent was not obtained. Legal, political, and diplomatic opposition to these deportation plans continues to increase.
