Libya serves as a hub for migrants trying to get to Europe, and the country has several detention facilities for refugees and migrants
The Trump administration has developed plans to send migrants to detention centers in Libya on a military flight, according to Reuters.
The flight could depart as soon as Wednesday, officials told The New York Times. The nationalities of those set to be on the flight were not immediately apparent.
Libya is in the middle of severe conflict, and human rights groups have called its migrant detention centers “horrific” and “deplorable.”

The State Department advises the American public against going to Libya “due to crime, terrorism, unexploded land mines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict.”
