This is a very important day for those seeking justice at Europeโs borders. The judgment shows that every national and EU law can be challenged under the lens of the EU charter of fundamental rights. This could be the beginning of the reconsideration of the entire anti-smuggling legislation, leaving no space for the criminalization of migration and solidarity. Francesca Cancellaro, lawyer of O.B.

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way
So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Quote from our published article from our author Anna Maria Lecis Cocco Ortu: "While the appointment process goes some way in shielding the Italian Constitutional Court from the risk of political capture, there are nonetheless practices that could compromise its impartiality."
The deliberate delay by the Italian Parliament in filling vacancies on the Constitutional Court risks its dysfunction and politicization.
