Italy's parliament approves crackdown on teenage migrants
Italian lawmakers on Thursday approved a government decree that allows migrants aged 16 or 17 to be held in adult reception centres and gives police stronger powers to check that migrants are not falsely claiming to be under age. Under Italian and European legislation, unaccompanied young migrants are entitled to more favourable treatment. The decree, part of the response of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government to surging immigration by sea, completed its parliamentary approval process, with the Senate backing it in a 97-to-65 vote, with one absention.
