This morning Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration is looking for other countries to send criminal illegals when their home countries won’t accept them.

Now CNN is reporting that Libya and Rwanda may be two of those countries:

The Trump administration has discussed with Libya and Rwanda the possibility of sending migrants who have criminal records and are in the United States to those two countries, according to multiple sources familiar with the talks.

The proposals mark a dramatic escalation in the administration’s push to deter people journeying to the United States and remove some of those already here to countries thousands of miles away, some of which have checkered pasts. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January directing top officials to facilitate international cooperation and agreements to send asylum seekers elsewhere.

In addition to sending migrants with criminal records, Trump officials are also hoping to enter formal negotiations with Libya to strike a so-called safe third country agreement, which would allow the US to send asylum seekers apprehended at the US border to Libya, according to one of the sources. No decision has been made yet, and it’s unclear which nationalities would be eligible.

CNN reached out to the State Department and a representative for Libyan Gen. Saddam Haftar, who was in Washington for talks with officials this week, for comment.

I haven’t following Libya lately but the last time I checked, Libya was not a stable country and had serious power struggles within the country to rule it. According to Wikipedia, there are still two governments vying for control of the country, with only one being internationally recognized.

I’m glad they are looking for countries to take these illegals, but I’d think they could do better than Libya.
