U.S. President Donald Trump's administration may deport migrants to Libya for the first time this week, three U.S. officials said on Tuesday, as part of his immigration crackdown and despite Washington's past condemnation of Libya's harsh treatment of detainees.

Human rights groups have called conditions in the country’s network of migrant detention centers “horrific” and “deplorable.”

The Department of Homeland Security is giving migrants free plane tickets and $1,000 if they depart. But there is more than meets the eye, an analyst says.
