Over 100 migrants IDed at Ventimiglia

(see related) (ANSA) - Ventimiglia, May 30 - Over 100 migrants were identified on Monday in Ventimiglia after a police operation to clear a camp at the city on the border with France.
    The operation followed an order from Mayor Enrico Ioculano, who suspended his membership of Premier Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD) last week along with several local councillors in protest at the lack of assistance in dealing with the situation. Around 95 of the migrants were transferred to reception centres in the southern cities of Bari and Catania.
    Most are set to be sent back to their homelands although about 10 have permits to stay based on the need for international protection.
    Several minors were put under the responsibility of the social services.
    Most of the migrants identified were from Eritrea, sub-Saharan Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
