A group of more than 600 migrants appear to have become the first subjects of the new Italian government's tough immigration stance without having even set foot on Italian soil.
A charity rescue vessel carrying 629 people is currently stranded in the Mediterranean after Matteo Salvini, the new Italian interior minister, reportedly refused to allow it to dock at Italian ports.
Mr Salvini, whose far-right League Party's tough line on immigration won it a record number of votes in March's election, has promised to deport half a million illegal migrants from Italy.
He was sworn in as the country's interior minister on 1 June after the formation of an awkward anti-establishment coalition.
The vessel, the Aquarius, which is operated jointly by Medecine Sans Frontiers and SOS Medeterranee, was refused a port of disembarkation by the Italian authorities despite having been told to rescue the migrants by the same co-ordination centre.
The vessel was told to ask Malta to provide a disembarkation port, but Malta has also refused.
Among the migrants on board are 123 unaccompanied minors, 11 children and seven pregnant women. The crew say they have enough food for another two to three days at sea.
The migrants were rescued in several separate operations in the Mediterranean over the past 24 hours - all of which had been carried out at the request of the Italian authorities who are now refusing disembarkation.

Bump! But will we? No nonsense immigrant vetting is the way to go. If you have nothing useful to offer this country, go somewhere else.
Sanity emerging in Europe.
White Europeans will not allow themselves to be displaced and their culture extinguished.
Watch.
And remember they invented killing on an industrial scale.
Enough ! Go home !
Many European leaders are complicit in the genocide of Europeans that is currently happening.
Some Europeans are fighting it.
Many more need to.
Doctors without borders.
Take them back to where they came from.
Send them south to drop off the pasengers.
Send along a warship to make sure they get there
Darn good questions.
“The rescue charities insist their role is simply to save lives and that returning people to Libya is not an option because of the dire security situation in the country.”
Gee, I wonder who is responsible for that? Could it be that former “Enlightened Despot” Obama and his stooge Clinton?
When our bad guy,Gaddafi, was in charge, the Africa to Europe Destabilization forces never got off the beach. But alas, the Despot and his stooge had him iced.
Who the hell invited them ......
Poor innocent young kids. Look into their young eyes and how can you deny them? /sarc
Notice: Not just "right" but "far-right."
That must be the new secret code that leftists journalists use to describe people who seek to protect their country from invasion.
Biased, leftist journalistic filth.
These “rescues” are staged. The whole operation is planned.
Step 1. Advertise for people / recruit people to immigrate to Italy or where ever.
Step 2. Put them on boats that are designed to sink.
Step 3, Cast off for a designated “rescue” spot.
Step 4. Sail away to Italy or where ever pleading for asylum or aid.
This is an organized invasion and it is time for it to stop.
Excellent. Thank you Italy.

Reading is useful. "The vessel, the Aquarius, which is operated jointly by Medecine Sans Frontiers and SOS Medeterranee."
Wanna bet most of those minors have wisdom teeth....
And where did those groups get their money? Likely the UN. Or Soros. Or Europe’s own uniparty.
Have Machete in hand, will work for...……….
Let’s just hope some those nice young muslim boys have a babysitting certificate to take care of those unaccompanied children.///////
I seem to remember the SS St Louis (IIRC) that had over 900 Jews floating around about 80 years ago.
Media sure didn’t cry like this over them.
