Italy Targets Migrant Rescue Ships in Emergency Decree

Reuters

   ROME - Italy passed an emergency decree on Tuesday that limits the
   entry of ships into its territorial waters, a move aimed at curbing the
   activity of migrant rescue boats operated by charities.

   The cabinet approved the measure two weeks after the anti-immigrant
   League triumphed in European parliamentary elections, increasing the
   clout of its leader Matteo Salvini who campaigned hard on security and
   migration issues.
