Trump administration weighs sending migrants to Libya and Rwanda, sources say

The Trump administration is considering sending migrants with criminal records from the US to Libya and Rwanda as part of deportation talks ongoing in 2025.
These discussions stem from a January 2025 executive order directing officials to expand international cooperation to remove asylum seekers and deportees from the US.
Rwanda has previously accepted asylum seekers from the UK under a 2022 agreement and recently received one Iraqi refugee deported from the US as a pilot case.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed that they are seeking other nations willing to accept individuals considered highly undesirable, aiming to relocate them as far away as possible to prevent their return.
No final decisions have been made, and legal challenges are expected, especially regarding deportations to countries like Libya with documented migrant abuses.
