French border police return more migrants to Italy

(ANSA) - Ventimiglia, June 18 - French border police continued to send migrants who had crossed into France from Ventimiglia in Italy's northwestern Liguria region back again on Thursday, one day after some 170 people were returned.
    Roughly 15 migrants were sent back from the frontier post in the early hours of Thursday morning. French police have also stepped up controls at the international rail stations of Nice and Cannes, sources said.
    As well, a high-speed train travelling from Italy to Paris was stopped at the border station of Garavan-Mentone to allow police to search for migrants. A group of around 100 migrants have been camped out on rocks by the sea on the Italian side of the border for six days demanding to be allowed into France.
