Judge Blocks Trump’s Secret Libya Deportation Scheme
A federal judge in Massachusetts issued a temporary injunction halting the Trump administration’s plan to deport migrants to Libya, citing violations of prior court orders guaranteeing fundamental legal protections. The plan, which reportedly involved imminent military transport, prompted an emergency court filing from immigration attorneys. The Libyan government publicly rejected the deportation proposal, while the Trump administration offered no official confirmation or denial. This action is not the administration’s first attempt to circumvent legal protections during mass deportation efforts.
