Italy’s right-wing coalition has passed rules to change the courts responsible for validating the detention of migrants, in what the opposition said was a vendetta against judges who recently blocked a plan to send asylum seekers to Albania.
The Albanian facilities are a key pillar of the government’s policy to crack down on illegal arrivals and speed up repatriations.
The move comes against a backdrop of tensions between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government and the judiciary, after migration judges issued orders to bring to Italy people being held in the Albanian camps.
Under a proposal approved by a parliamentary committee late on Wednesday, future rulings on migrant detentions would pass from the migrant judges to Italy’s regular appeal courts.

Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party said the aim of the shift was to promote efficiency, while transferring to a higher court an issue related to human rights.
