ROME (Reuters) - 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.
