ICE Expands Its Scope To Target More Illegal Aliens

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will use a much wider net to arrest undocumented immigrants, doing away with the Obama administration’s priorities that had shielded millions of people living in the U.S. illegally, lawmakers said last 17 February.

Italy Is Taking Harder Stance Against Migrants

No more playing nice to a bunch of criminals and social welfare free-riders. This time around, Italians had enough and their government has started to increase deportations of migrants who do not have a right to stay in the country. They will also open new detention centers for those being sent home, Interior Minister Marco Minniti said last 8 February.

The Interior Ministry said in December it would take a tougher stance on migrants this year, without giving details. In testimony to parliament, Minniti described his plan publicly for the first time.
