The government's security and
immigration decree "will pass today and will be a gift for
Italians," Interior Minister and anti-migrant League leader
Matteo Salvini said Tuesday despite friction on the measure with
government partner the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
"I predict that the security decree will pass today and it
will be a step forward for the security of Italians," Salvini
said.
"We have enough Italian criminals...in the security and
immigration decree that I will give to Italians there will be
more severe rules for criminals".
Some in the M5S are dragging their feet on the measure
because it would strip migrants who commit crimes of their
protected humanitarian status.
