Confiscated..

 

Italy’s government has approved a new immigration bill that authorizes the Italian Navy to block vessels carrying migrants from entering its territorial waters during periods of “exceptional pressure,” marking the latest in a series of tough measures aimed at curbing irregular migration. 

The Council of Ministers gave its formal approval to the 17-article legislation, which Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni described as fulfilling a key commitment of her center-right government program.

Since taking office in late 2022, Meloni has pursued stricter migration controls, accelerating the repatriation of rejected asylum seekers and increasing jail terms for human traffickers. 

The newly approved bill introduces a temporary naval blockade to prevent crossings in cases of serious threats to public order or national security, including exceptional migratory pressure. Under the law, vessels violating the blockade could face fines ranging f67rom 10,000 to 50,000 euros and repeat offenders may have their ships confiscated. 

Migrants intercepted under these rules may also be redirected to third countries with which Italy has agreements for reception or detention.

Been .. Done..

 

Scores of dirty tissues, hairbands, condoms, tampons and even panties are being tied to a doomed fence in the middle of the iconic span every day in such high frequency that do-gooder cleanup crews cannot keep up with the litter.  

We literally just walked past it and seen it and got excited,” explained Helen Burton of Birmingham, England, whose two daughters and a friend each put a “bobble,” or hair tie, on a section of the bridge.

“It’s something we had on us, so we thought it’s quite nice!”

The group had not heard of the trend before embarking on their stroll across the landmark and were eager to participate.

We can leave something here to show that we’ve been here,” said Amelie, 13, with her sister, 11-year-old Jess, adding that the trash heap seemed “authentic.”

Supreme..

The Supreme Court turned away an appeal brought by Montana officials seeking to revive a state law that requires minors seeking abortions to obtain the consent of their parents.

The state court ruled that “a minor’s right to control her reproductive decisions is among the most fundamental of the rights she possesses” and the state had failed to show how its own interests overcame those protections.

The Montana Supreme Court has long recognized a right to abortion under the state constitution, and in 2024 voters also approved a ballot initiative that protects the right to abortion.  Just a thought.

The papers are not as crucial now adays as they were once before.  It is not a dark time, its a speed time where important and not important information are communicated within few minutes. Just a thought

Italy..

 

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sharply criticized a series of judicial rulings that she said are obstructing her government’s efforts to combat illegal immigration, calling the decisions “objectively absurd” and questioning whether some magistrates are undermining enforcement of the law.

In a video statement, Meloni first pointed to a recent ruling ordering the Interior Ministry to compensate an Algerian citizen with 23 convictions after authorities attempted to transfer him to a repatriation center in Albania. 

According to Meloni, judges not only blocked the expulsion but required the state to pay €700 in damages.

“Just yesterday I commented on the surreal decision by the judiciary to order the Ministry of the Interior to compensate with Italian money an illegal immigrant with 23 convictions behind whom the state had had the daringness to transfer to the CPR in Albania for deportation,” Meloni said. 
She described the ruling as “shameful news,” adding that it was overshadowed by another decision issued the following day.

Vision..

CBS Evening News producer has left the network.

Alicia Hastey, a producer on the CBS evening program, wrote a farewell letter and explained why she took a buyout from the TV broadcaster. New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin posted screenshots of Alicia's letter on X (formerly Twitter.)

Within her parting message, the CBS Evening News producer also criticized the network's "sweeping new vision." CBS has been through a series of changes since its parent company, Paramount, merged with Skydance Media last year.

There has been a sweeping new vision prioritizing a break from traditional broadcast norms to embrace what has been described as 'heterodox' journalism," Alicia wrote in part

Stories are evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations — a dynamic that pressures producers and reporters to self-censor or avoid challenging narratives that might trigger backlash or unfavorable headlines," she continued.

Liberal..

A former top aide to New York Attorney General Letitia James runs a liberal nonprofit that is helping administer funding for anti-ICE trainings nationwide.

Anna Brower, James’ chief of staff until this past September, serves as president of the Hopewell Fund, one of several members of a so-called “dark money” network of left-wing philanthropies administered until 2024 by Arabella Advisors.

Hopewell doled out more than $91 million in grants that year for causes related to civil rights, social action and advocacy, per its latest tax filings, and serves as the fiscal sponsor of an organization called States at the Core.⅔

More than 12,000 people have been trained through States at the Core’s ICE Watch seminars since President Trump’s second inauguration, according to the nonprofit, though it’s unclear how much funding Hopewell has been helping it manage since it was founded in November 2024, the New York Times reported.
