ROME - Italy on Saturday closed its ports to hundreds of migrants rescued off Libya who face a chilly Christmas at sea after a mother and newborn baby were evacuated to Malta. Salvini tweeted. "We continue with 311 people on board, without port and in need of supplies," the NGO tweeted. After announcing the closure of Italian ports, Salvini tweeted a photo of the tortellini and sausage he had for lunch. Accusing the groups of acting as a "taxi service" for migrants, he has denied them access to Italy's ports.
