Italy's 'Guantanamo': Inside the centres for migrants set to open in Albania
Friday, 2 August 2024 Italy's controversial plan to send asylum seekers to Albania is expected to begin within a few weeks, following many delays and strong criticism.
The agreement signed last year by Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama aims to process the asylum claims of migrants rescued at sea while keeping them in Albania, a move that has garnered both criticism and support.
Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification.
