Italian judges on Friday “again denied the government’s request to hold asylum seekers in Albania while their cases are being processed, dealing another major setback to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s anti-immigration policy,” the New York Times reported on Jan. 31.

Meloni “was berated by the political opposition on Saturday after her plan to process up to 3,000 asylum-seekers a month in Albania was rejected by Italian judges for a third time,” reported Politico.
