Italy’s top court has ruled that an asylum-seeker who filed his asylum application before the Salvini Decree went into effect — October 5, 2018 — could still get humanitarian protection as a result, if he meets the criteria. Quick facts on the ruling, which the Corte Suprema di Cassazione (Supreme Court of Cassation) published on February 19, 2019: If you applied for asylum before October 5, 2018, and you got a negative decision from the commission after October 5, 2018, and would like to appeal or are appealing, it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer soon to see if this ruling could affect your case.

More than 500 people are being ousted from a refugee reception centre in a town close to Rome in the first major eviction since Italy’s rightwing populist government enacted hardline immigration measures into law. Thirty people were evicted from the centre, the second-largest of its kind in Italy and the place where Pope Francis washed residents’ feet as part of his Easter ritual in 2016, in Castelnuovo di Porto on Tuesday. A further 75 were removed on Wednesday, with the remaining 430 to be evicted before the centre’s closure on 31 January. The evictions follow the approval of the “Salvini decree”, named after Matteo Salvini, the interior minister and leader of the far-right League, in late November. The bill scrapped humanitarian protection status and suspended the refugee application process for those considered “socially dangerous” or who have been convicted of a crime. It also stripped naturalised foreigners convicted on terrorism charges of their Italian citiz...

"I confess," Salvini said in a video posted to his Facebook page, "there is no need for a trial. It's true, I did it and I'd do it again." "I risk 3 to 15 years in prison for blocking illegal landings in Italy. I have no words," wrote Salvini, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Lega (League) party, which now rules Italy in a coalition with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S). Salvini also claimed on Facebook that #SaliviniNonMollare ("Salvini, don't give up") was the top trending hashtag on Italian Twitter, but many of ...

Italian Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini and Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio are facing their first "European" disagreement, over the topic of migrants, ahead of European elections coming in May.  Salvini, of the rightwing populist League party, is seeking to consolidate his sovereignist position, while Di Maio, of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), has taken a step back and positioned himself closer to the European right and socialist parties.  The clash is purely political, despite the fact that it stems from the current situation of 49 migrants who are languishing off the coast of Malta on two NGO migrant rescue ships that have not been given a port ...
