Judge Halts Deportation Flight of Asian Migrants to Libya
A federal judge has temporarily blocked a deportation flight scheduled to send Asian migrants to Libya. The order came after immigration lawyers filed an emergency motion on Wednesday, citing concerns about the migrants' safety and well-being in Libya. The restraining order prevents the migrants from being deported to Libya or any other third country. This decision provides a temporary reprieve while the court considers the case further.
A U.S. federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on Wednesday, halting the deportation of Asian migrants to Libya. The order prevents immigration officials from sending the migrants to Libya or any other third country. The emergency motion was filed by immigration attorneys who argued that the migrants faced significant risks in Libya, including potential violence and human rights abuses. The attorneys presented evidence suggesting that Libya is not a safe destination for migrants. The judge's decision grants a temporary stay, allowing the court time to review the merits of the case and consider the legal arguments presented by both sides. Further hearings are expected to determine the long-term outcome for the migrants involved.
