Amidst the terror wave that is engulfing the European continent in recent months, Italy has decided to mitigate their risk regarding Middle Eastern refugees.

Italy will be rounding up middle eastern migrants in order to mitigate their risk of terror attacks.

With Paris, Istanbul, and Great Britain all experience their own dastardly terror attacks in the past few weeks, many of which can be linked back to the dangerous practice of relaxed border policies during the Syrian crisis.  Now, Italy has had enough.

“Italy will seek to deport more migrants who have no right to be in the country and will open new detention centers to hold them before their expulsion, according to a written directive and a ministry source.

“Police chief Franco Gabrielli sent a two-page directive to stations across the country on Friday ordering them to increase efforts to identify and deport migrants a week after Berlin Christmas market attacker Anis Amri was shot dead near Milan.

“The directive, seen by Reuters, says police should take ‘extraordinary action’ before the ‘growing migratory pressure in an international context marked by instability and threats’ to ‘control and remove irregular foreigners.’

“Interior Minister Marco Minniti plans to open several new detention centers that hold migrants prior to their expulsion, a ministry source said, in line with repeated requests by European Union partners.

“The tougher migrant stance, which several Italian papers ran on their front pages on Saturday, is the first major policy change made by Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni’s government since it took power in mid-December, and comes on the heels of a record year of boat migrant arrivals.”

This change in attitude should behoove Italy in the face of a widening and deepening terror trench marring the face of an otherwise sovereign and peaceful planet.
